Neither Chickenhawk served in Vietnam when they had a chance to fight for their country, no they avoided serving in wars. They only speak before the carefully selected fans, screened, under orders, no trouble. No questions.
President Bush Discusses Global War on Terror

"It must be exciting for you"
During a videoconference with U.S. military and civilian personnel yesterday, President Bush praised the troops fighting in Afghanistan, claiming he was "a little envious” of their "romantic" fight:

"I must say, I’m a little envious," Bush said. “If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed."

"It must be exciting for you, in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You’re really making history, and thanks," Bush said.

As I've said before, he's not too old to drive a truck in a convoy across the desert to take supplies from KBR to the troops he sent there. We'd even let him put number forty three on the side.

OR he could have a Hummer instead, and Dick can ride shotgun.




Dick: Iraq War "Major Success"
On the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War's start, Vice President Dick Cheney hails "major success" and insists that although the U.S. economy has hit a "rough patch" it is not in a recession
...
When asked about how that jibes with recent polls that show about two-thirds of Americans say the fight in Iraq is not worth it, Cheney replied, "So?"

"You don't care what the American people think?" Raddatz asked the vice president.



"You can't be blown off course by polls," said Cheney, who is currently on a tour of the Middle East. "This president is very courageous and determined to go the course. There has been a huge fundamental change and transformation for the better. That's a huge accomplishment."


Dick Cheney never served in the military.
Rather than serve his country in Vietnam, he sought out and received
FIVE deferments from the draft.


McCain carries the lies overseas.
McCain Conflates Shiite Iran And Sunni Al Qaeda, Needs To Be Corrected By Lieberman

The surge boys, McCain, Lieberman and Graham are in the Middle East pretending the war is going well. Lieberwhore had to whisper into McWarmonger's ear that Iran isn't training al-Qaeda. Lindsey sure has a nice tan. I didn't know he was so broad in the beam.

John McCain's false claim that Iranian operatives are "taking al-Qaeda into Iran, training them and sending them back," NBC News political director Chuck Todd asserted: "This was not a one-time slip and ... had Clinton or Obama done something like this, this would have been played on a loop, over and over."

...
McCain campaign's assertion that he simply "misspoke". In fact, as noted by the blog Think Progress, McCain made the same misstatement to nationally syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt during a March 17 interview, saying, "As you know, there are Al Qaeda operatives that are taken back into Iran, given training as leaders, and they're moving back into Iraq."

In the meantime, the news cycle was diverted to "new tapes" from Bin Laden.

Adam Raisman, senior analyst at the SITE Institute, said that the message's release coincides with an increased buzz in online jihadi forums calling for revenge against Europe over the cartoons.

But Raisman noted that bin Laden's message did not specifically mention the republishing of the cartoons, only the publishing, and it did not give any other time landmarks. "The tape doesn't give any specific evidence that would allow us to determine when it was recorded," Raisman said.

Bin Laden said the cartoons were "part of a new crusade in which the pope of the Vatican had a significant role".

The reference was part of a familiar bin Laden strategy to paint Islam and Christian-rooted societies as being in a state of war.

Bin Laden got what he wanted from the Bush administration:
US pulls out of Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is home to some of Islam's holiest sites and the deployment of US forces there was seen as a historic betrayal by many Islamists, notably Osama Bin Laden. Bin Laden used American presence to justify anti-US attacks. It is one of the main reasons given by the Saudi-born dissident - blamed by Washington for the 11 September attacks - to justify violence against the United States and its allies.
