Five Years On...

Taken from the news article:
-----------------------------
A Washington Post-ABC News poll showed nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the war was not worth waging.

Told about the poll result in an interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," Vice President Dick Cheney, in Oman after a visit to Iraq, said: "So?" He added: "I think we cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations of the public opinion polls."

The war has cost the United States $500 billion. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed and millions displaced. Nearly 4,000 U.S. soldiers have been killed, as well as 175 British troops and 134 from other countries.

Exactly! Why should elected officials be bothered by the insignificant schmuck opinions of U.S. citizens?

The chutzpah...it takes your breath away.

Yeah, but you know I saw him on tv tonight and his hair is almost white and the lines on his face resemble the Grand Canyon.
They even hate him in Kiev.
What do you think he thinks his legacy is going to be?

It's still a tender subject. Viva le Freedome Fries!
