"I still have other priorities, my priorities are to have more American kids and Iraqi kids die of course

but I also intend to keep making a killing from my Haliburton stock."

Two months after declaring that the Iraqi insurgency was in its "last throes," Cheney painted a starker picture yesterday, acknowledging that "there is still tough fighting" to come. Rather than promising quick victory, he reminded Americans that after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks Bush warned that the broader struggle with terrorism would be "a lengthy campaign."

The vice president cited the darkest days of the American Revolution, when the war was going badly and ragtag rebels were ready to go home until George Washington rallied them. "They stayed in the fight, and America won the war," he said. "From that day to this, our country has always counted on the bravest among us to answer the call of duty."

The bravest amongst us would not include Dick Cheney. Since Michelle Malkin can do it, why not Attaturk? I'm sure that George Washington would really appreciate a comparison between the American resistance and an American occupying force nearly 230 years later...or would that appreciation be more accurately placed with Al-Zarqawi.

What a fuckstick ass.
