CHENEY FIGHTS BACK

Excerpts As Prepared For Delivery Tonight by Vice President Cheney
THE VICE PRESIDENT: "As most of you know, I have spent a lot of years
in public service, and first came to work in Washington, D.C. back in
the late 1960s. I know what it’s like to operate in a highly charged
political environment, in which the players on all sides of an issue
feel passionately and speak forcefully.
In such an environment people sometimes lose their cool, and yet in
Washington you can ordinarily rely on some basic measure of
truthfulness and good faith in the conduct of political debate. But in
the last several weeks we have seen a wild departure from that
tradition.
And the suggestion that’s been made by some U. S. senators that the
President of the United States or any member of this Administration
purposely misled the American people on pre-war intelligence is one of
the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this
city...
Some of the most irresponsible comments have, of course, come from
politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing force against
Saddam Hussein. These are elected officials who had access to the
intelligence, and were free to draw their own conclusions.
They arrived at the same judgment about Iraq’s capabilities and
intentions that was made by this Administration and by the previous
Administration. There was broad-based, bipartisan agreement that
Saddam Hussein was a threat … that he had violated U.N. Security
Council Resolutions … and that, in a post-9/11 world, we couldn’t
afford to take the word of a dictator who had a history of WMD
programs, who had excluded weapons inspectors, who had defied the
demands of the international community, who had been designated an
official state sponsor of terror, and who had committed mass murder.
Those are facts.
What we’re hearing now is some politicians contradicting their own
statements and making a play for political advantage in the middle of
a war. The saddest part is that our people in uniform have been
subjected to these cynical and pernicious falsehoods day in and day
out. American soldiers and Marines are out there every day in
dangerous conditions and desert temperatures – conducting raids,
training Iraqi forces, countering attacks, seizing weapons, and
capturing killers – and back home a few opportunists are suggesting
they were sent into battle for a lie.
The President and I cannot prevent certain politicians from losing
their memory, or their backbone – but we’re not going to sit by and
let them rewrite history.
We’re going to continue throwing their own words back at them. And far
more important, we’re going to continue sending a consistent message
to the men and women who are fighting the war on terror in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and many other fronts.
We can never say enough how much we appreciate them, and how proud
they make us. They and their families can be certain: That this cause
is right … and the performance of our military has been brave and
honorable … and this nation will stand behind our fighting forces with
pride and without wavering until the day of victory.

LOL! Yeah right, right alongside:
"We know where they( WMD) are" & "Iraq was connected to 9/11".
BTW, are you saying that EVERYONE who voted had access to ALL the intel?
Are you saying that, cRappy?
