Yet ANOTHER reason to get our troops OUT of Iraq: From the mouth of Dick Cheney

[file83]

Read this exchange, carefully, between Dick Cheney and Wolf Blitzer:

WOLF: Should he be arrested, Muqtada al Sadr?

VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY: That's a decision that's got to be made --

WOLF: Because as you know, the first U.S. general there, Ricardo Sanchez, said, this guy killed Americans, he has blood on his hands, he was wanted, basically, dead or alive. Whatever happened to that?

VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY: Wolf, you've got to let Nouri al Maliki deal with the situation as he sees fit. And I think he will.

So in other words, Dick Cheney is saying the lives of U.S. Troops are in the hands of Nouri al Maliki. That's just great, Dick.

If our troops aren't allowed to handle Muqtada al Sadr, what in the HELL makes Dick think the State Prime Minister of Iraq can do anything about it?

Bring them home now. Please. For the love of God...

1. Our militaries hands are tied by the US civilian leaders and Malaki

They are in a no win situation...Get them out now.

2. Our troops are already under NATO control in Afghanistan

or so I've heard. Don't have time to look it up, have a phone call to make.

3. Or, if nothing else, have halliburton give the troops decent equipment and protection.

Remember, Ford got us out of Vietnam - and the result was pretty much shit. I have no idea as to how to get the troops out now, but I sure as hell have heard how they are not getting proper equipment or pretty much else and that's beggin' for trouble. As we've already seen. Or haven't.

Especially from a "pro-life" administration, who unlike Poland did forget about New Orleans (SOTU, 2007... oops.)
