Cheney: We'll get em one at a time

So, why don't you and the Cowboy suit up and head to Iraq to hunt the
insurgents down "one at a time"?

Round up the rest of the chickenhawks and form a posse:

Vice President Cheney declared yesterday that the United States "will
not relent" in the war in Iraq and will hunt down insurgents there
"one at a time if necessary," implicitly rebutting escalating pressure
on the Bush administration to bring U.S. troops home.

This macho tough talk from Bush and Cheney only leads to trouble for
the soldiers on the ground in Iraq.

And, by the way, *****, there was one uber-insurgent you were going to
hunt down "dead or alive" and you ain't got him yet.

__________________________________________________________

As a student in the 1960s during the Vietnam War, Cheney received four
student deferments from the military draft.

What is intriguing about this utterly uncharismatic, efficient,
hawkish Vice President is the fact that he never served in the
armed forces.

He says that he was generally supportive of the Vietnam war and
opposed to the demonstrators.

But his hawkishness didn't lead him to volunteer; instead he accepted
student deferments which allowed him to avoid military service.

All Cheney will say is, "As did most other Americans, I watched the
war from afar."

There remains something odd about this hard-line Cold Warrior's
evasion of what would seem to be his patriotic duty.
