Cheney Warns Iran...
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/11/wo...in&oref=slogin

Vice President Dick Cheney used the deck of an American aircraft carrier just 150 miles off Iran’s coast as the backdrop today to warn the country that the United States was prepared to use its naval power to keep Tehran from disrupting off oil routes or “gaining nuclear weapons and dominating this region.”
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.

Personally I hope Iran just ignores him and decides to negotiate.

Why be insulting like this? Look, we do need to protect our vested interests in the Persian Gulf, even if that means using our Navy to prevent there navy and military personnel from disrupting our oil routes and transport ships.

And a good deal of the reason we need to defend our 'vested interests' is so that we have the right to drive the six blocks up the mini mart to get another six pack, the right to keep that air conditioning on in 74 degree heat, the right to let everyone drive the 40 miles to that really good party instead of car pooling.

Far better to loose a few thousand men and women to defend our 'rights' than to sit down and have dinner to discuss the problem and work it out in a civilized manner.

Right on Jaaman!

Why? He is out making threats that can only lead us into yet another war. The US has screwed up the last two, and what makes you think a third one with Iran will be any different...

And again blatantly lying, saying the majority of Americans are behind the Iraq war....this is arrogance beyond belief...and a classic case of delusional.

So now the question is how much more damage can this administration do before they are gone? It's a scary thought... How much more of their damage can we endure?

If we are very lucky the U.S.A. will survive. I have my doubts because it seems that U.S. citizens no longer have the will to bring their government under control.
