A retired General who served more than 30 years in the U.S. Army and
helped train Iraq's military between 2003 and 2004 called former Vice
President Dick Cheney an "incompetent war fighter."

National Security Network Senior Adviser and Retired General Paul
Eaton made the comments after Cheney criticized Obama in a Wednesday
night speech for "dithering" about whether to substantially increase
the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Obama has been under
pressure from his top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley
McChrystal, to add as many as 40,000 to 60,000 U.S. troops on the
ground.

"The record is clear: Dick Cheney and the Bush administration were
incompetent war fighters," Eaton said in a statement released
Thursday. "They ignored Afghanistan for 7 years with a crude approach
to counter-insurgency warfare best illustrated by: 1. Deny it. 2.
Ignore it. 3. Bomb it. While our intelligence agencies called the
region the greatest threat to America, the Bush White House
under-resourced our military efforts, shifted attention to Iraq, and
failed to bring to justice the masterminds of September 11."

Cheney's criticisms of Obama came during his Wednesday night
acceptance speech for the Center for Security Policy's "Keeper of the
Flame" award.

Cheney wasn't telling 'Bama *how* to fight the war. He was suggesting
'Bama either **** or get off the pot.

There is a difference, you know.


The difference is that Cheney isn't qualified to suggest anything, except
perhaps how to shoot his friend.

lol lol

At least Cheney can talk without sounding like a stand up comedian like
Biden.. Gawd, he is dimmer than Bonnie. Of course have you ever heard
Obama try to speak without a script, funny as hell too.

He sounds like a raving lunatic. As though we're all going to forget how he
screwed up so badly. He's delusional or lying. Probably both.

Personally, I hope Cheney keeps ranting. He's a great reminder of the
past 8 years, the 8 years that dropped the Republicans from 32% of the
population to 20%.

Yeah, we know.. Screw democracy, a one party rule makes it much easier
to push your agenda on the 49 percent of folks who did not vote for your
guy. Much easier to get away with murder if you have enough control to
avoid any type of investigations like Jefferson, Dodd, Murtha, etc... At
the same time celebrating Pelosi and Reid and their 240+ investigations
which led to what, Scooter Libby?

I think you're missing the point. We _need_ a healthy two-party system.
Unfortunately, less than 20% of the voters self-id themselves as
Republicans. If they were a bit more mainstream, then there would be a
viable alternative to the "one party system" you're so concerned about.

You can rant all you want about the Dems., but there are no viable
alternatives that sound reasonable.

The GOP has been taken over by extremist ideologues and their moron
followers. Tosk, aka Scott Ingersoll, is among the latter, of course.

He sure is, but it's totally inappropriate for a former VP. At least Bush
has the common sense (not something usually assoc. with Bush) to keep his
mouth mostly closed.

As misguided a person as I've witnessed in my lifetime. It'd be like
giving power to The Freak. Would we expect anything but disaster?

The Freak and Dick Cheney. Maybe they should have a few beers and go
hunt some pheasant.
