Not a shred of reporting on Cheney West Point Speech.
Edited on Sat May-26-07 09:59 AM by spanone
He spoke to those he's condemed to death and not one news agency prints his words.

Last throes mr. cheney? Did you tell that to those in the audience who will die from your illegal policies?

checked ALL news services, can't find a peep on the veep.

1. "On the bright side, War Profits are WAY up." - Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney

"Too bad about the WMD lies and all the dead people and stuff like that,
but we republicons are making a BOODLE. And as I see it, that's the American way.

"I am so glad it's YOU going over there, and not me or Commander AWOL or any of our chickenhawk republicon cronies. We have money to make."

- Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney

3. CNN is covering a little of it.
"Whatever lies ahead, the United States Army will have all the equipment....blah blah it needs for total victory..."

Of course, the troops probably don't have the best personal protective gear since they don't let them wear the dragon skin.

And I bet record numbers of the graduates will leave the army when their five years (or whatever it is) is up.

4. The speech is today. Don't know the time.
There are a few articles and blogs about planned protests, but not many. I imagine there will be more later today.

9. If Cheney
gets booed at West Point then for sure the tide has turned. I doubt this will happen.
