If Cheney Wants To Lie To U.S. Troops About Iraq...

then he should damned well get his ass into downtown Baghdad, with NO protection and with a non-handpicked audience of both troops AND Iraqi civilians to do so.

But Cheney, who just loves to shoot - including his friends - is too damned big a coward to do that, of course. So Cheney goes to see troops in Japan to lie there. Grrrrrrrrrrr....

Vice President Dick Cheney said on Wednesday the United States wants to finish its mission in Iraq and "return with honor", despite the war's growing unpopularity at home and doubts among U.S. allies.

Cheney, whose visit to Tokyo comes just weeks after Japan's defense minister said starting the Iraq war was a mistake, also insisted Americans would not back a "policy of retreat".

The defense minister's remarks forced Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to scurry to reassure Washington that Tokyo's backing for U.S. policy in Iraq was unchanged, although most Japanese think that President Bush was wrong to start the war.

"We know that terrorist attacks are not caused by the use of strength, they are invited by the perception of weakness," Cheney said in a speech aboard the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier at Yokosuka Navy Base near Tokyo.

"We know that if we leave Iraq before the mission is completed, the enemy is going to come after us," Cheney said.

"And I want you to know that the American people will not support a policy of retreat," he added. "We want to complete the mission, we want to get it done right, and we want to return with honor," said Cheney, who heads on Thursday for Australia to meet Prime Minister John Howard, another backer of Bush's Iraq policy.

So I guess that the vast majority of Americans want to leave Iraq does not constitute any degree of reality for The Big Dick.

Actually, listen to the FULL speech and you see he called any of us not supporting Bush's excruciating Iraqi War adventure great perpetuators of terrorism.
