Internet news. Bush says Cheney and Rumsfeld will stay. Isn't the real statement: Cheney and Rumsfeld say?

When Bush was elected so too was Cheney & Rumsfeld.  I would be willing to bet that Bush has never made a decision contrary to their advice.  I don't think he has the brains.\n\nI love your statement!  You were inspired.

how low can we go? Bush and Cheney are monsters. How much more can the national debt soar? How many lies can he tell?  Is there another oil-rich country that we can invade? Is Osama Bin Laden still virtually unscathed from his horrendous attack on our country? How many of our young people are going to Iraq? How many will come home? How much richer can the rich get? How much poorer can the poor get? It is a sad state of affairs when our people are out priced at the gas pumps, and it is only going to get worse. These are tip of the iceberg questions, but suffice it to say that there is not a number that goes low enough. He will spend his remaining tenure in office seeing just how much his constituency can stand before reaching point break. I am already there, but I can proudly say that I did not vote for this monster, or for his ass clown father.

Not soon enough.\n\nActually I may be wrong about that. Can you say "President Cheney" without choking? Me either.\n\nOkay, let's say we impeach them both, and both are removed. Hey, a man can dream, can't he? Whups! Can you say "President Hastert"? BAD DREAM! BAD, BAD, BAD DREAM!!\n\nI think I would rather wait until after the mid-term elections, nail them both, and then say "President Pelosi." Heck, maybe she will even pick Hillary as VEEP.\n\n\n____________________________________________________\nA LITTLE ASIDE to Annoying up above: What part of the phrase "Scooter squealed like a pig" makes you think that the questioner thinks Scooter is "now a paragon of virtue and truth"? Actually I think it is pretty obvious to all but the kool-aid drinkers that Scooter is a scared little boy caught with his hand in the cookie jar who has just run out of lies.\n\nI think he needs to spend a long, long time in time-out.\n\n\n____________________________________________________\nA LITTLE ASIDE to Brian down below:\n\nAsking questions about our so-called leaders does not weaken America, not even indirectly. Sunshine is the best disinfectant.\n\nHowever, TREASONOUSLY OUTING UNDERCOVER OPERATIVES WHO ARE TRYING TO FIGHT THE SPREAD OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS **DIRECTLY** weakens America.\n\nAs for those responsible, "Hangin's too good fer 'em."

Here is what the President, the Vice President and Secretary of Defense used to think and wanted us to think:\n\nIn October 2003, a banner proclaiming "Mission Accomplished" on the aircraft carrier where President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat in Iraq came back to haunt him as the death toll rises. \n\nIraq insurgency in 'last throes,' Cheney says   May 31, 2005\nWASHINGTON (CNN) -- The insurgency in Iraq is "in the last throes," Vice President Dick Cheney says, and he predicts that the fighting will end before the Bush administration leaves office.\n\nRumsfeld dismisses Iraq's 'dead-enders' \nAssociated Press\nPosted 6/19/2003 \nWASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Wednesday played down recent deadly attacks on Americans...\nAsked at Pentagon press conference about the Iraqi resistance, Rumsfeld described it as "small elements" of 10 to 20 people, not large military formations or networks of attackers. He said there "is a little debate" in the administration over whether there is any central control to the resistance,\n\nGlad I'm not a sheep!

It's called falling on your sword.  People have been complaining about Rumsfeld and the aimless way the war in Iraq has been conducted.  He should have been fired in 2004.  After the Republican's monumental loss last night, Bush had to make a show that he finally gets it.  Yeah, they said Rumsfeld resigned, but he was asked to resign to make it look like Bush is making a fresh start.

Not Cheney - he is not the power behind the throne, he is the power AND the throne, with The Bush his minion.  Are we witnessing the collapse of the house of cards at last?

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/11/20061108-2.html\n\nIts not so much Bush's speech but his back-peddling answers to the questions that followed that makes one doubt his honesty and integrity.\n\nThe war and Rumsfeld issues were part and parcel of the election.  Nobody can deny that.  I would understand a decision to keep quiet the acceptance of the resignation of a key player just prior to an important election.\n\nBut, on the same hand - that being the avoidance of riling the masses and votes being cast out of anger and/or fear -, the President should not have made any statements to the effect that terrorists win, America loses if Dems gain power in Congress.  Truth doesn't run both ways, only lies and deception.\n\nRumsfeld has stated frequently that he has tendered his resignation in the past, but Bush refused to accept it.  Only now, Bush talks of "fresh perspective".  Balderdash.\n\nThis wasn't a presidential election, Bush had no votes to lose.  But, his base is now opening their eyes.  I sure hope their awakening is due to their respect of their constituents/former constituents and not just self-preservation.\n\nI hope these next two years don't leave George lame.\n\nI would rather have the two branches working together instead of fighting each other.

Yes where is Bin Laden, at Bush's house having cocktails, and barbecue with Cheney, Rumsfeld and all the GOP boys. I am still waiting for WMD's and they don't seem to be coming. This whole thing has been lie after lie. Congress changes this fall, and I hope to see several investigations going on.

News flash. Bush is still in control of what happens in Iraq. He is going to fight kicking and screaming against a withdrawal. He will lose, but he will fight it. There is no face to save at this point. Bush and his ardent supporters are the only people who still think the whole Iraq thing was a good idea, and we can "win", whatever that means. The republicans need to realize if they keep letting this president get his way with Iraq, they don't stand a chance in the next presidential election. He is in the process of sinking their ship in the desert.

Liberal scum??? Whiney Liberal??? Hmmmmmmmmmm, I'm guessing some of these fools will still be included as Dubya supporters when his approval rating hits 1% in 2008. My guess however is that, sadly, Dubya's worst times are ahead of him. There are big revelations about his presidency yet to be revealed. The Scooter Libey trial has only begun. And God knows Dubya will continue to consistantly screw up the world in the next few long years. But hey! What do we know. We're just liberal scum am I right?!   George Dubya, Still Fightin the Good Fight!

Bob Ney resigned because he is going to jail in a bribery scandal. Did the liberals bribe him? I think not! The military has not liked Rumsfeld's leadership, decisions or general attitude for years

Let's get one thing straight.  He did not "resign".  Bush asked him to leave.  In all of the previous calls for his resignation, he had said that he serves at the pleasure of the President.  That said, it's not a cut-and-run.  It gives the American people and the American government a fresh start-someone who can lead the war effort without having to worry about what the American people will think.  Rummy will always be blamed for anything that goes wrong with the war, so now it's time for someone who can honestly say, "I wasn't the one who was running it from the beginning, I just want to get the job done, and as quickly as possible.  I don't want to dwell on any possible mistakes; the past is the past, and this is what we have to get through."

You could start out that ,"while the Democrats won does anyone know what they ran on except that they ran against George Bush and Iraq?" What were or are their plans? They ran saying they would get us out of Iraq! From what has been said since the election we are staying.

What - do you think Yahoo Message board admins would let people post that Bush wouldn't know global warming if it flooded the White House, or that Bush is flip-flopping about withdrawing troops from Iraq ?\nNot a chance.  The boards will stay down until some pro-Bush hack makes a press release that shows their policies in a good light.
