Cheney accuses them of wanting to take their football and go home.
Cheney Slams Dems Iraq Plan
WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney on Wednesday harshly criticized Democrats’ attempts to thwart President Bush’s troop buildup in Iraq, saying their approach would “validate the al-Qaida strategy.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi fired back that Cheney was questioning critics’ patriotism.
Pelosi says “I’m telling on you!
Pelosi Calls Bush to Complain
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday phoned President Bush to air her complaints over Vice President Dick Cheney’s comments that the Congressional Democrats’ plan for Iraq would “validate the Al Qaeda strategy.” [snip]
The quarrel began in Tokyo, where Cheney used an interview to criticize Pelosi and Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., over their plan to place restrictions on Bush’s request for an additional $93 billion for the Iraq war to make it difficult or impossible to send 21,500 extra troops to Iraq.
“I think if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we will do is validate the Al Qaeda strategy,” the vice president told ABC News. “The Al Qaeda strategy is to break the will of the American people … try to persuade us to throw in the towel and come home, and then they win because we quit.”
Don’t you wonder if the charge is untrue, why it would cause such a reaction?

This is just more of her painted scenery. Can’t we do any better than this simple-minded shrew?
The charge is true and some of the latest polls (which I detest) show that a majority of the American people support staying to win the war. The dhimmi’s are getting deeper and deeper into the traitor game with no way out.
In general, we’ have to admit that the Democrats were showing leadership by going against the polls, Scrap. But they have no coherent strategy for the aftermath in Iraq and the WOT in general. They don’t, and you’re right.
The polls show that people don’t know what the hell they want. Ask them if they support the war, they say “no.” Ask them if there should be an immediate withdrawal, they say “no.” Ask them if funding should be eliminated, they say “no.” Troop surge? “No.”
How about this poll question:
“Should anti-war Congresscritters STFU?”
Now that’s a question I could get behind, Wave. I’ll mail it down to Quinnipiac.
