Cheney on Two-Thirds of Americans’ Opposition to Iraq Occupation: ‘So?’

Share article:

Guest blogged by Jon Ponder, Pensito Review.

Interview by Martha Raddatz of ABC News with Dick Cheney:

Q: Two-thirds of Americans say it’s not worth fighting, and they’re looking at the value gain versus the cost in American lives, certainly, and Iraqi lives.

CHENEY (with smirk): So?

Q: So… You don’t care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No, I think you can’t be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls.

Update: You must see the smirk to believe it. Video available here.

  1. Bush and Cheney are like belligerent drunk friends who keep convincing us to let them take the wheel while our vehicle is going 90-to-nothing…and even though our automobile is almost totalled, and the remains of thousands of victims are splattered on the hood and windshield, the passengers just can’t find the guts to take the wheel back…impeach these jerks already, even if it’s too late to do any good.

  2. Cheney’s a confident little draft dodger, particularly when he has a gun. And may all Americans enjoy the same 2nd Amendment, (although not executive) – privilege.

    Does anyone know to where his poker party, prostitute lovin’ friend, former CIA Director Porter Goss may have slithered?

  3. See how he did that… threw out the word “fluctuations” like it is fact and then everybody nods and says “Oh, O.K.” There haven’t BEEN any fluctuations… the majority have been against this war for a long, long time.

  4. In a sense he is telling the truth … he is saying madmen Amurkans like Cheney/Bush can take over your American govenment and you can’t do anything about it.

    And if that is not a wake up call that the government has altzimers, nothing is:

    Alzheimer’s destroys brain cells, causing problems with memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to affect work, lifelong hobbies or social life. Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and it is fatal.

    (A). Brad Blog, healing Amurka back into America one blog item at a time.

    PS. Put a young person in there, not another person who already has the same ole same ole disease.

  5. The reptile should be impeached for that statement alone! Whether he realizes it or not anymore, he is a public servant an when the people you serve disagree with you in a democracy, you are accountable to THEIR WILL! So what the f… blow your face off?

  6. passportgate: I smell the lies of a dilution now that 3 candidates have had passport files breached.

    cheney ~ Hannibal Lecter with a better tailor . . .

    When Five deferments speaks I don’t listen.

  7. So when the economy collapses and Bush and Cheney form a new government with New Mexico and Canada will you join them or will you desert them ?

  8. So, the real power behind Bush’s presidency chimes in on the anniversary of the war sold to us with a pack of lies and a fear mongering campaign that would make Hitler proud.
    Unfortunately Cheney’s response was not carried on many news casts. The outrage against the war would be greater if this reaction to the will of the people were widely known.
