Reply #32: They *are* unstoppable. Dick says so.

The White House reaction to the Senate resolution opposing President Bush's decision to send more troops to Iraq came from Vice President Dick Cheney. In a word, he was defiant, saying about the general idea of a resolution, "It won't stop us."

"We are moving forward. The Congress has control over the purse strings. They have the right, obviously, if they want, to cut off funding," Cheney said Wednesday in an occasionally testy CNN interview.

"But in terms of this effort, the president has made his decision. We've consulted extensively with them. We'll continue to consult with the Congress. But the fact of the matter is, we need to get the job done."

If the president was almost humbly pleading with Congress in Tuesday's State of the Union address to give his plan a chance, CBS News chief White House correspondent Jim Axelrod says the vice president played what has come to be his typical role: the enforcer. He dismissed suggestions that the Bush administration's credibility is on the line because of mistakes in Iraq as "hogwash."

You ask "is there anything we can do to stop these nuts?" Obviously, the answer is no. The only things that will stop them are impeachment or some form of forcible removal, and we are constantly told that impeachment is "off the table".

We will be at war with Iran well before the end of the year. Cheney called 2007 the "year of Iran", and the drumbeat for war has already started in the media. Every news broadcast now begins with a "threat from Iran" story.

This administration exists to thwart the will of the American people, as they have demonstrated ever since we elected Al Gore president in 2000. In the 2006 election we said "leave Iraq now", so Bush escalates his war by sending in more troops. Polls and expert advice say "don't attack Iran" as Cheney prepares to attack Iran.

This is certainly the most explicitly anti-American, dictatorial regime we have ever allowed to slither into the White House. It's hard to see what it will take to make them slither back out, since they consider themselves above our system of laws and our Constitution.
