AP is reporting on a new affliction for the beleaguered Republicans. It’s called “Cheney fatigue.” But, the GOPers have to understand that they created Cheney. They never reined him in. They never challenged him. One thing is right though. Cheney is a disease that is afflicting the country. And the symptoms are a lot worse than fatigue:

I well remember that day nearly 7 years ago that Bush and Cheney were given the reins to govern this country. I was so damn depressed I wasn’t fit to be around. My co- workers (some of whom had voted for Bush) kept telling me that it wouldn’t be that bad, that the realities of Washington would moderate Bush and he would end up traveling down the center of the road. How wrong they were! The puppet and his puppeteer ended up exceeding my very worst nightmares, sending the good old USA screaming down the downhill side of the power curve like a runaway train on a mountain grade.

This is a great toon, Mike. We need to keep piling it on these two executive branch clowns and their Neanderthal supporters until we ride them out of Washington on the proverbial rail. To do so in a literal sense wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Luckovich is so wonderful. Michael Moore is saving our health. Gore is saving the earth. The AJC is a pillar of impartiality. Hillary, like George Washington, has never told a lie. Edwards is worried about the war, the one with “political pundit Ann”. Obama used only a lil’itty,bitty bit of cocaine. Pelosi has become the invisible woman. Murtha announces new plans to win all wars by invading Iwo Jima. I thought it couldn’t get any better.

Than I heard a rumor that Luckovich was tired of trying to “Impeach Bush” and “Impeach Cheney” in cartoons. Next week we get the “Impeach the Troops” cartoon. You may order your copy for only fifty dollars to be used for patriotic purposes only.

mountain man, I too recall those three weeks back in Nov. 1999.

But unlike his father who was a closet moderate, this Bush has been a rabid neo-con from day one. And proud of it.

To me there was little doubt that he was in way over his head. Remember during his first campaign in a TV interview when he was asked who were the leaders of about a dozen different nations around the globe? He couldn’t even get half of them correct! Many on the far right downplayed that a ton but I thought it was very telling. So for a guy who was dumb by presidential standards, it has been OJT ever since. And very bad OJT at that.

As his closest advisors are in many cases left overs and chicken hawks from the Reagan and Nixon eras. So it is no wonder that among their many blunders these reactionaries have created a new Viet Nam.

And yet there are still a few but ever dwindling pigheaded people in this country who still don’t see that he is very arguably one of the absolute worst presidents in our entire history. Look at the couple of faithful “conservative” tools remaining here for proof.

Running down our healthcare while people from all over the world come to get some of it.

Funny one today.

I just got back from a long trip up to NJ. I went into Manhattan while I was there, for those who have never been there it is an amazing place.

I took the train over from Jersey City, the train lets off at the World trade center. First time I had seen the sight up close, 6 years have gone by now. For clarification, the path train lets off about 40 feet under street level at the world trade center. A very odd feeling to know you are deep underground, and then see nothing but sunlight as you look up. All the clean up is done, and consturction is just beginning on whatever they are putting there, but the city does not stop, or even change it’s habit because of 9/11

I think this is the first time I realized just how big 9/11 was, it was not just 2 buildings that fell down, the size of the hole in the ground is something like 8 square acres that are gone. Half a block away is Wall Street, the financial nerve center for the north eastern US.

Anyway, I got to see two of my brothers in law who have always been staunch bush supporters, so sad, so pathetic. I remember back a few years ago when they had thier W stickers proudly displayed, how when I would bring up little things like, what would we do in Iraq after Saddam was gone, because there is a lot of sectarian friction in the country, they would shoot off little bumper sticker slogans like “freedom isn’t free”.

Well, they do not support GWB anymore, but they just can’t bring themselves to admit they were wrong. Instead the new thoery is that “Bush changed” or “Bush has become too liberal”. Sad sad, I am sure you know people like this who just cannot come to grips with thier mistakes.

I’m not sure how we can get you to understand that we too see the danger, we too love our country but the method to solve it is different. No, we’re not laying down and letting the enemy take over but we’re not going to let this administration do whatever it wants. It must be held accountable, it must answer to the highest authority - the people of this country. The last 6 years has put us in a terrible situation - the proverbial rock & hard place - because the Republican Congress did not do its job of oversight. Every call for questioning the administration’s direction was either squashed or put in the context of ‘you’re a traitor if you ask that question’. Now, we the people, have the ability to hold this administration up to account for its actions. In a democracy this is a normal but sometimes painful process. If we did not do this we should just throw away the constitution and declare Bush king which is something I doubt even you would say is the right thing to do. If this administration has nothing, or little, to hide then there should be no issues with some oversight by Congress and in fact they should welcome it with open arms.

I don’t go for that. I don’t think your brothers do either. I know our troops don’t and our president keeps working. Liberals are like a pack of yapping dogs, snapping at the heels of other Americans, ‘specially the President.

According to liberals, it is a crime to lead your country in wartime. Bush has been convicted of nothing more than leading.

If you don’t like this war, then support the troops and it will be over sooner. I know I’m wasting my time here where supporting this country in wartime seems to be a far distant thought. Retreat is not support.

it is not a crime for the president to lead the country in a time of war.

It is idiotic to start a war and have the victroy conditions dependant upon the actions of a foriegn nation and it’s government.

The worst case scenarios that were sited prior to the iraq war as reasons for it, have actually come into existence because of it. Iraq is now a training ground for Al Queda because of the lack of a coherent government or civil authority. Iraq has also become a focal point for mideast tensions as it’s government has crumbled with Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia and other countries stepping into the power vacuum and increasing sunni shia tensions in the region. The one moderate democratic muslim country in the region, Turkey, is now massing troops on the iraqi border because of incursions by kurds in the north.

For clarification, none of this has come to pass because of liberals, newspapers, or what people are saying in the united states. These things have come to pass because of short sighted and optomistic thoeries put forth by a small group intellectuals who convinced GWB that war was the best course of action, and that a democratic election would somehow bring forth a pro western moderate government in a country that never had a history of such a thing.

The reason Bush has no plan B in this whole sordid Iraq mess is that he put all his eggs in one basket. Even though most mid-east experts were highly sceptical of invading Iraq precisely because of what came to pass, Bush, the fool that he is, waltzed right in without considering the implications of what he had done or planning for alternate contingencies.

Many Americans wanted a simple and uncomplicated man to be their leader, because that is precisely what they are. It doesn’t work well in a complicated and complex world.

I’m with Dusty. We have to support our troops in their bold effort to make Sunnis like Shia and vice versa. It is what the troops signed up to do: Police a thousand year old conflict between competing sects in Iraq. Further, this is exactly what the President said we were going to do when we invaded. We were going to displace Saddam and make the Iraqi’s love each other. I don’t remember the libs complaining when he said that… if he did. (Maybe its just the voices in my head?)

Next we’re invading the West Bank and we’re going to solve the Isreal-Palistine dispute and we will have troops die until the leader of Hamas french kisses the Prime Minister of Isreal on TV. I don’t care how many troops die so long as we don’t quit. Ever. Even if we lose the entire Army in the desert trying to get Iraqis to get along. I’m behind them 100%. Forever. ‘Cause that’s what it’s gonna take. I call on all Americans to have at least 6 kids over the next 8 years so that we’ll have more troops trying to make the Shia love the Sunni in the generations to come. You may ask yourself, How will this all end? How do we know that our troops dying will lead to peace between the two groups? We don’t. But its better than quitting. You see we have two choices: Have our kids die in the desert for the next few decades or quit. Cowardly libs quit doing the impossible. Patriots do the impossible forever. Hell if it were up to us we’d still be in Vietnam. The death toll would be nearing 1 million by now, but at least we didn’t quit and we supported the troops. Granted it would be a bunch of dead troops, but troops just the same.

I know that you cynics out there are thinking that Bush is just going to play this out until he leaves office so that someone else can take the blame for the inevitable failure. You might call that immoral. I just call it politics. So what if a few thousand more kids die between now and 1/20/09? The important thing is that Bush not look like he screwed up. Now that’s supporting the troops the GOP way.

Do you have to present so many phony posters to try and make a point? Right Wing Nut Job is a liberal nut job trying to be cute. He is not.

Others, like Thomas, don’t have the foggiest notion who the enemy is. Oil???

Others try to dump on religion as some kind of culprit. Rapture (whatever that is)?? Jesus to clean up the mess?

The rest are so busy calling names that they have no point at all.

And, amazingly enough, all liberals have forgotten that their Democratic members in Congress voted for this war. Just like Bush, they saw incriminating evidence from the CIA and thought they should protect us. The British felt the same way. Your memories are very very short and selective. Why don’t you suggest IMPEACHING all of CONGRESS?

Yes, RE and mm, it is possible to not like(support) the president or the war but it is a hard act to pull off. If I tell you I don’t like your leader and don’t like what you are doing, do you really think I support you? No way.

Our troops are not fooled by this “support but but but…..”. The enemy is not fooled either. Make up your mind. You either want to WIN this war with support or lose it with excuses.

Dusty, I want very much to win the war between the Shia and the Sunni. It is the war we expected. It is the war we planned for. It is the war we must win.

I agree with you that the Democrats voted to authorize the use of force if Saddam didn’t comply with the UN resolution to disarm. Clearly, he had not so disarmed which is why we found all of those stockpiles of WMD’s. So yes the Democrats in Congress got exactly what they voted for. Some might argue that we should have let the inspectors do their work, but they weren’t finding anything which was all the more reason to kick the inspectors out and start the war. Now that we did it for good and noble reasons and in full knowledge of the consequential Sunni/Shia conflict, we must win that conflict between those to groups even though neither has a stake in us winning it, but simply want to win it for themselves. If the Shia win, we lose. If the Sunni win, we lose. If they both lose, we win. The hard part is getting each side to agree to lose. But I’m sure that they will soon see that losing is the only way to win.

The difficulty is explaining to these libs how we win by neither group winning and how we recognize when we’ve won. Why don’t you go ahead and explain to these idiot libs how we are going to win the war between the Sunni and the Shia? I think if you explain it to them that they will get it. They are waiting….

Dusters — Congress was lied to by Bush. They were dragged into the war because Bush lied to them and to the American people, who started to support the war. I think most of the Congressmen were not fooled, and knew they were being dragged into something useless, but they were gutless and along with it. But the ultimate blame for creating this national (and international) nightmare are the liars in the White House who dreamt up this war, and lied the nation into starting it. The Congresspeople who voted for the war deserve to not hold office. The Bush junta deserves a very long time in prison.

Dusty,

Glad to see that you finally realized RWNJIFG is making fun of the wingnuts. Wow, you are really perceptive. And I must admit he is hilarious.

Funny how you keep accusing Dems of voting for the war. Yes they did. They were lied to just like the UN was lied to, just like the American people were lied to, and just like the Brits were lied to. Get over it. At least 70 percent of Americans and all of the Democrats realize that THEY WERE LIED TO. They have enough sense to change their minds and seek the truth.

The homeymoon with the Brits is over. They have a new PM, so they’ll be leaving soon.

The troops don’t care what we think. They just want out of Iraq.

The Iraqis don’t care what we think. They just want us to leave.

The so called enemy doesn’t care what we think. They just want to continue their civil war which has raged for thousands of years.

Ah, liberals on the march against the war, the war they voted for and the war from which they run. Don’t rush. You are stumbling all over each other.

I am glad to know that you folks are so enlightened that you KNOW that Iraqi citizens have no desire for freedom. That those in the Iraqi Army are just playing soldier. That Sunni and Shia are BOTH Muslims whether they like each other or not. That alQueda has infiltrated Iraq and would love to establish headquarters there.

Well, duh, my friends, have you ever met a veteran from combat who loved war? Do you think this war is being fought for the FUN of it? Are you so blinded with hate for Bush that you have forgotten that terrorists plan to attack the USA again but they are busy now? Busy fighting our troops in Iraq, not America?

I love to hear about real honest-to-goodness Americans. Did you read about the veteran who lost the use of his legs when injured in Iraq? He is now winning awards in paralympics here and abroad. And you know what he said. He said that he couldn’t serve in the military anymore but he could still strive to do something for his country. And he is winning medals from his wheelchair to do that.

When will you libs get it? Speaking ill of a Republican is speaking ill of America. We are America. You are not. We don’t talk bad about each other because we are the embodiment of the American ideal. If I were to say something like, I dunno, really out there like, “Cheney is a scumbag,” basically I’m saying “America is a scumbag.” Cheney and America are one in the same so I would never actually say such a thing.

The biggest threat to the GOP ideal are liberals who are faux Americans. They are not real Americans, so saying bad things about them is simply defending the country against all enemies foreign and domestic.

One day we will set up camps, round them up, and kill all the liberals in the name of God. Then we can get to the business of ridding the world of those dangerous religious zealots in the Middle East. Religous zealots are scary. You never know what zealots will do, unless they are Christian zealots. They’ve never hurt a fly, unless its a liberal, Muslim, gay, Indian, Jewish, or African fly. In which case we will kill it or enslave it as instructed by the Scriptures.

Dusty is again right. You don’t know that Iraqis don’t want freedom. Remember when Americans hated freedom and so we killed all the Indians so that we could have the whole country? Remember when we hated freedom so we enslaved Africans for 400 years. We were a freedom hatin’ bunch I tell you. But once we started loving freedom we stopped killing Indians and we freed the Africans. That’s how it works. When you want freedom you don’t kill people, you try to get along with them.

To sum up, Sunnis who kill Shia hate freedom. Shia who kill Sunnis hate freedom. Its really very simple.

And I love that Dusty has pointed out once again why we are there. We want the terrorists to come to the troops. They are like a big bug light for terrorists. Now some might ask well why not put the troops out in the middle of the desert so the terrorists would have to trudge all the way out there to kill our troops and we wouldn’t also be killed in sectarian violence? You know, some people ask too many questions.

I would also like to say kudos for making my point that liberals aren’t good Americans. That being the case, why haven’t you agreed with me that they should be rounded up and killed?

Also, when you get around to it, explain how we get to victory in Iraq. I asked you earlier to do that, and I understand you may be busy, but these libs need to know what victory is and how we get there.

Dusty, Did you know that the troops you claim to support are real people? The guard and reservists have other regular jobs.

Did you know that these troops have families; mothers, fathers, wives, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, children and they are all affected by how these troops are affected by their experience?

Does it bother you to see our military men and women got into a war zone for 2, 3, 4 and 5 deployments?

Does it bother you that our troops are losing body parts and brain functions?

Do the deaths of these people bother you at all? The grief of the families?

Does it bother you that these real people are put in a “horror movie” environment and will never be the same again?

Does it bother you that the equipment is wearing out and our troops are more and more endangered by this prolonged deployment?

You are a real mindless, heartless b!tch. Your ignorant words are totally unworthy of any liberal’s consideration. You despise the US troops; you must be an Al Qaida supporter because you support and relish the destruction of our troops as much as you they. Nothing else can explain your attitude.

And I will remind you that this was not a vote to go to war! It was a vote to authorize military force if certain conditions were met that would allow such a military action to be taken after the UN concluded their work in Iraq.

Dubya even ignored that fact in this authorization and charged on in to Iraq’despite UN objections. — IMHO Bush went to war illegally and should now be tried as a war criminal! (and there is a real chance he will be someday)

Latest large poll says that 30% of American people think the Iraq festering fiasco is “going well.” How is it possible?? Never underestimate the gross stupidity of the American masses. These are just the hard-core fascist Repugs. One must add many, many additional percentage points to represent those really, really wanta pretend all is well, but somehow even they can’t quite delude themselves that deeply regarding THIS subject. And you wonder why and how it is that we have a Bush and a Cheney in office? I never wonder. Never. As long as we have ignorant hate-mongers loose and with a right to vote, it will remain this way. Just remains the same. Pitiful.

“We must stay until there is freedom in Iraq. We cannot leave until there is an operating democratic government that meets its benchmarks and can protect the people of that country. If we leave now, the terrorists will follow us home.”

Dusty, I grudgingly admire your tenacity. I don’t question your patriotism or support of our troops.

But as others earlier today have said very well (why repeat it?) this Iraq mess was doomed from the get-go. Bush and his puppetmaster Cheney lied to Congress and the nation. There’s a reason Britain was the only nation offering serious support in 2003. And Blair and his party sufffered the consequences. Every other nation knew that a) Iraq had been already neutered militarily, and posed no serious threat to it’s neighbors, much less the US, and b) Removing Saddam would ignite ethnic hatreds that have been simmering in Mesopotamia for centuries. It was gonna happen sooner or later (Saddam wasn’t going to last forever under ANY circumstances). Surprised that no WMDs were found? Nobody else was. Surprised that Sunnis and Sias turned on eachother? The late Senator Moynihan predicted THAT would happen years before he passed away (read his final book, 1992’s “Pandaemonium”)

None of this surprised me then, with Bush’s “Bring ‘em on” immature macho dance fueling the inevitable. None of this surprises me now. Bush has shamed his party and his supporters. He’s shamed the US in the world’s eyes. I wish he and Cheney would just resign. I know, fat chance.

That was a lame excuse to cover the REAL reasons for your absence.

You are NOTHING on this (or any other) thread without your circle-jerk buddies covering for you when you spout your NeoCon talking points and then get called out for it by those of us who know your talking points are crap.

I also suspect that you have no rejoinder for Mike’s BRILLIANT cartoon today.

You, like the rest of us, know that DICKO the SICKO is the puppetmaster for the current corrupt, crooked president.

Mike NAILED it, and YOU know it! 93+% of those of us voting that we LIKED today’s cartoon thought so, too.

Without your buddies, you are just a tiny, whiny, minority bully who is used to beating up on minorities, and doesn’t like the change of view.

Go hide under the bridge, nasty troll. Your circle-jerk buddies aren’t here to defend you!

The Map. It’s all about the Map.

Good maps are hard to find. We’ve got a doosie for Iraq’s borders.

Polls tell you nothing about the reality of the destiny of a US Troop-free Iraq.

We can never leave Iraq. The mission of US troops in Iraq is to hold together the map. The map.

It’s all about that map they drew after world war one.

That map, so arbitrarily drawn, (thank you france), is what will keep our troops there for a long, long time.

Dustmite, you are a pathetic figure. Why would you wish to so display your ignorance on a daily basis. As one who pulled more than his share of tough military duty, I’d love to grab your t**, put a helmet on your pointed head, drag you to Iraq and see you reacting to patriotism,” “heroes,” and the other crap you speak of.

But I sure do.
