CHENEY IS A DESPICABLE WAR WHORE

On 6/22/2006, Cheney told CNN's John King that things were going great in Iraq:

CHENEY: Well, it's wrong in many respects, John. First of all, they're wrong; we're making significant progress. We've had major success on the political front in terms of three national elections last year by the Iraqis. They've stood up a brand new government under a new constitution for the first time ever. We've got a quarter of a million Iraqis now in uniform, equipped, trained, in the fight. So there has been significant progress made with respect to what's going on in Iraq.

Today before the American Legion National Convention, he admits that the war wasn't going at all well (via Satyam at Think Progress):

President Bush stood firm, along with a number of notably courageous members of Congress, some of them from Arizona. They knew a surge of operations was our big chance to get things right.
