Well, the synopsis of this story is very biased against Cheney, saying he "...reminded ABC news that the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan volunteered for duty." That isn't exactly the way the interview went. BUT since I despise this man's arrogance, ruthlessness and corruption, I'll let it go. This ratbastiid must have the goods on a lot of people in Congress, because by all rights, he should have been retired long ago. Martha Raddatz is a good reporter--ladylike but tough--and she had some courage to ask him the questions about redeployments.

they volunteered to be used honorably.

too bad some two-bit punks with no honor somehow got power over them.

arrest cheney and bush
war crimes trial
sentencing
punishment.

Isn't it ironic that the darlings of the radical religious right (Bush,Cheney) say and do such things that are unAmerican and at odds with democracy; not to mention heartless. It speaks volumes about the base of the Republican party. God help us all if McCain manages to win the white house.

They volunteered WOW what an answer that let's everyone off the hook! This man not only didn't volunteer when it was his time but he went for 5 deferments when there was a draft.
His saying they volunteer is why we need a draft. This thing about laying down your life for a country should go for everyone, most of them volunteer to protect our country not ruin some other country.
These volunteers aren't even being taken care of the way they should fighting the military system and the VA system from the moment they are of no use to the military anymore. Shame, shame on this country.

It's 4003 dead as of today. Heckuva job.

Every time Georgy and Dick speak, they make me feel so ashamed to be an American.

Sometimes I feel pity for American people. Sometimes...Most of the time I am either shocked or enraged to indifference of American public to crimes of current administration and its partners in MSM and defence/oil industry...Can't you recognize silent contempt , casual dismissive attitude of Cheney towards public and its principles , everything this country based upon or stood up for ? Dick reminds me narrow minded ignorant and fanatic Nazi leaders of WWII. "So" ? , "They volunteeered" MY GOD !! Where are the people ? Where is outrage , protests , organization and pressure towards Washington ? Are you Americans just too well fed , comfortable and lazy besides being appering Patriotic to care anything else ? People are being murdered in your name in Iraq ! ( I am not blaming troops. When you send a an armed trained fighter to be meanest kid on block in a foreign land he does so. He mostly hurts innocents because he is trained to do so ) Your economy is in shambles. Your health care and social security almost non existent. You lost almost all of your creditentials in international community and lost respect and confidence of your allies. Dubya thinks one day history will justify him. That is mentality of Adolf Hitler ! I think one day historians would look back and shake their heads "How the hell did people of one of the most richest and respected nation of the earth elected these people and allowed this to

They were conned, cheated and lied to. Thier deaths were covered up, autopsies falsified, bodies embalmed to cover up the evidence. In at least two cases this has been found to be fact. Cheney, you belong behind bars. Your sorry behind is headed that way if I get the findings I am going after about how these men and women really died. I am not going to eat the cookie and just go away, I am not going to drink the kool aide and not ask why? You may think you are smart, but pal, you badly underestimate those of us who are going after the truth about the war, how our troops are really dying and the actual numbers of dead soldiers. Some of the soldiers were creamated before the bodies could be examined by an ME. Fact. Cheney, that smerk won't be on your face after the truth comes out.

Cheney is heartless and a poor excuse for a human being.

Yes George jr. is as evil as his mentor" Meatgrinder" Cheney but both of them pale next to mild manered Bush Sr. This man is a genious at presenting a public image and "CYAing" but history will show that he was a bane on America and a one man orginized crime wave.
That oh so sweet grandmotherly wife of his makes Ma Barker look like a Girl Scout mom.
George Jr. is her spawn and a product of her upbringing.
And these are the nicesest things I can say here about the Bush crime family.

Please sign the petition to begin impeachment hearings.

It's not a lie nor a joke. He's evil.

This is nothing new. Madeline Albright said much the same when soldiers complained about the poor conditions they endured during the Balkan's campaign: what are they complaining about? They volunteered.
The all-volunteer force, despite its vocal proponents, ends up with soldiers being treated like mercenaries. After all, the only way you can keep people in the military today is to pay them at a rate roughly equivalent to what they would earn on the outside and give them a cushy benefits package. Since they volunteered, and since they are being well-compensated, why not treat them as expendable assets and dismiss any complaints as whining.
Dick Cheney may be a horrible excuse for a human being, but his view of the troops is echoed by whoever is in power.

Here's a challenge to the dems: Forget Bush, use Cheney against McCain. Do the morph thing on video with McCain turning into Cheney. Do a top ten list of the stupid things he's said and done. (Like shooting a friend in the face.) If McCain wins anyway, it's safe to say America The Beautiful is dead.
