Can't make this shit up

Cheney, lies as he breathes:

When hearing Cheney's latest progress report from Iraq, it's also important to remember that his previous predictions have been off the mark. It was two years ago this month that the vice president told CNN's "Larry King Live": "I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."

After his series of briefings with U.S. and Iraqi officials on Wednesday, the vice president declared that sectarian violence is "down fairly dramatically" though he cautioned that there are serious security problems. "They do believe we are making progress, but we've got a long way to go."

As if on cue, there was an explosion that rattled the windows at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad during Cheney's visit. Reporters were raced to a basement "attack shelter" before getting the all-clear signal a few minutes later.

YIKES!

And in "Progress Land's, Utopia Center and Galleria":

The U.S. Embassy has ordered its staff to wear flak jackets and helmets while outdoors or in unprotected buildings following an increase in mortar and rocket attacks against the heavily protected Green Zone.
