Oh yeah?

MANIFESTO

For those of us who believe the essence of politics is confrontation, yesterday was pretty interesting.

First off, Deadeye Dick, fresh from his regular Tuesday lunch with congressional Republicans, stoppped to talk to reporters (which he almost never does) in the Capitol whereupon he stated the same old crap about Democrats' undermining the Iraq war effort and encouraging the enemy—whoever or whatever that is.

Harry Reid, who really has shown a great amount of resolve since he became Senate Majority Leader, then tells the veep to blow it out his nose:

Vice President Cheney should be the last person to lecture anyone on how leaders should make decisions.

Leaders should make decisions based on facts and reality, two words that seem to be foreign to the Vice President

This is the same guy who said Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and that we would be greeted as liberators. And it's the same guy who continues to assert that Saddam Hussein had links to al Qaeda long after our own intelligence agency conclusively refuted this notion. To suggest he lacks credibility would be an understatement.

The Vice President's and others' attacks on those who disagree with their failed policies are signs of desperation. They are lashing out because they know the days are numbered for their failed strategy and that the American people and a bipartisan majority are determined to force this Administration to change course in Iraq.

Good times.
