Cheney: Iraq war will end before 2009 Well, that's optimistic. So, around 4 more years of war then?

The vice president said he expected the war would end during President Bush's second term, which ends in 2009. Leaving a tangled, bloody mess for the next president to attempt to clean up.

"America will be safer in the long run when Iraq, and Afghanistan as well, are no longer safe havens for terrorists or places where people can gather and plan and organize attacks against the United States," he said. This has to be the stupidest rationalization I've ever heard. By this logic, America is going to have to invade every country in the world to insure there are no 'safe havens' for terrorists.

I should probably cross post this in [livejournal.com profile] mock_the_stupid.

I like the priorities which are revealed in that casual phrasing: "America will be safer in the long run when Iraq, and Afghanistan as well, blahblahblahterroristcakes." Afghanistan? "Safe haven" for *the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11.* But now they're the afterthought. And nobody blinks.

gragh

I know! I don't understand why there are people (my in-laws included) who think this is a good administration. Sigh.

PS - what do you think of my icon? Too hard to understand what it reads?

Yeah, I can't tell what it says, sadly. Or what the picture is... it looks like the resolution got kind of crappy when the picture was shrunk. What is it?

And by invading countries, we make more enemies, which in turn encourages terrorists to rally against us...

The fucking government. *grrr* Don't get me started.

That is exactly what I was thinking! It is just mind boggling. Sigh.

By the way, are you enjoying [livejournal.com profile] mock_the_stupid?

the new icon is not too bad
it's definitely readable - but then I think mine is too

As for 'safe haven for terrorists' .. there's no point saying it again.
How about Making USA safe haven for the people living in it first, actually

Thanks! I love getting new friends, especially one who also remembers the 80's.

Besides, your journal is fascinating. I have to warn you, though, yours has much more substance than mine! I tend to whittle on
about my son quite a bit!
