Cheney Knew

Submitted by ms zola on August 23, 2007 - 10:20am.

It appears that Vice President Dick Cheney not only knew that Iraq would turn into another Vietnam, but knew it 15 years ago when the 1st President Bush was considering invading Iraq.

WHY would he okay the invasion when he understood the outcome of the Vietnam conflict? WHY would America go to war knowing there was no way out?

Cheney, when asked why? America invaded Iraq when it was already known how the whole mess would turn out would we go into the war, answered things had changed because of 9/11.

Did I miss something? Wasn't Osama Bin Laden responsible and what has Iraq to do with him? He and his family are from Saudi Arabia....our ally....he lives in Afghanistan and maybe even Pakistan and is still at large...but somehow....we invaded Iraq and have been mired down in a war that has since turned into a Civil War.

We are going into our 7th......read that again.....7th year and is the third longest conflict after Vietnam and the American Revolution. Not even WWI or WWII lasted as long. we have already spent too much of our American's hard earned money on this war.

Kids just starting Junior High when this conflict started are now in college.

People....please contact your Congress person and tell them how you feel.

TELL them we need to get out of a country who:

1.Can't control their own government
2.Embezzel huge amounts of American dollars sent to provide assistance for their own military and their people.
3. Won't work towards a peace agreement
4. Is hell bent on revenge
5. Sanctions the murder of American troops

ASK how long we should be expected to stay in a country who doesn't like us or want us there.

GET INVOVLED!

Until this country accepts the FACTS, we will be over there doing what we do best! Pilage and murder all in the name of "Democracy". It should be labeled "Death by OIL" I agree, and I am involved...at least I try to write to my congressman etc. But the issue here is that this administration runs roughshod over anyones objections and labels them Liberal Traitors. The REAL traitors are both Bush and Cheney!

We have to continue to speak out. Our congress members won't know how we feel if we don't make some noise. every report tells the same tale...Iraq cannot manage itself....but how will they EvEr be able to manage themselves if we don't get out and let them try. How can things get worse over there if they are aleardy losing 50,100,150,200,300 people at a time everyday?
