So I guess they don't like it when people call it like it is. Vice President Dick Cheney, while agreeably not the most likable guy, stated: "I think if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we will do is validate the al-Qaida strategy," the vice president told ABC News. "The al-Qaida strategy is to break the will of the American people ... try to persuade us to throw in the towel and come home, and then they win because we quit."
Of course Nancy Pelosi got her feelings all hurt and tried to contact Bush and complain. She was unsuccessful in reaching him. But this raises a more interesting point, does she have the right to be upset even though Cheney is telling the truth? Democrats have compared Bush to Hitler, slammed Republicans at every opportunity and yet, when some truth comes from Republicans, what do they do? They complain. You can't have it both ways Democrats, either you want "the truth" or you get the happy, sunshine version of events. The fact is that insurgents and Al-Qaeda want us to quit. They want to say "See, I told you that Americans were paper tigers. I told you that we can win."
As for Cheney's assertion that the partial British pullout is a sign that things are going well in Iraq, Pelosi said: "If it's going so well, we'd like to withdraw our troops as well." Well do we have soldiers in southern Iraq? The problem areas are Baghdad and a few outlying areas. Where there's no problems, there's no soldiers Nancy. Perhaps if you researched that and not told 1/2 truths Americans would trust Democrats more. There's a reason why Democrats have the reputation of being weak on terrorism and threats against the US.
