Is Cheney the new "Baghdad Bob?"
06/27/05
Is it just me, or is Vice President Cheney, who repeated Thursday that the Iraq insurgency is in its final throes, starting to sound like former Saddam spokesman 'Baghdad Bob?' Is it time to start calling him 'D.C. Dick?' Yesterday, after a week of serious criticism, for claiming that the insurgency in Iraq was in its 'last throes,' Cheney refused to back down, even after Gen. John Abizaid, our top military commander for the Middle East, proclaimed that the insurgency, in fact, was as strong as ever, and 'a lot of work' remained to be done to defeat it. ... Yet Cheney said on Thursday, 'If you look at what the dictionary says about 'throes,' it can still be a violent period.' He compared this time to the end of World War II when tough battles 'occurred just a few months before the end. I see this as a similar situation.' Give this man a beret!
