In 1946, Winston Churchill went to Westminster College with President Harry Truman to deliver his famous speech about the growing threat of Communism, in which he coined the phrase "Iron Curtain."

Speaking at the same venue, the vice president drew a parallel between the Cold War and the current war on terrorism -- and between Bush and the famed British wartime leader.

"To look back on the pivotal decisions of the 1940s and '50s is to be reminded that certain moments come along in history when the gravest of threats reveal themselves," Cheney said. "You and I are living in such a time."

The vice president also said that "in Truman and Churchill, we find models for the kind of leadership required to defend freedom in our time."

"Today, we have such a leader in President George W. Bush," he said.

Bush is a leader alright, a leader of failures. Bush has never surrounded himself with thinkers, people who seek to hear from all sides of an issue. His little cabal of yes-men ideologues is a sham and is destroying our country.

And, it's funny how conservatives, during the time of Truman, labeled him a Communist dupe but now are quick to call Truman a great leader.

I wonder if Cheney remembers that the English people dropped Churchill like a bad habit after the war?

I sincerely hope our mildly-retarded sheep of a president follows Churchill in that respect.

Well, he did free Iraq and destroy all of their stockpiles of WMD's, including the ones made out of the Uranium from Niger, centrifuged in the aluminum tubes that ... eh... dammit...

Now that Iraq is free, they are happy, the US sure has won their hearts and minds and by 30/7 they will be able to rule themselves, in a democr.... i mean... well, a government will be set up for them that will be able to... eh, well, not enforce law and such, not have anything to do with the safety forces, but they will have a GOVERNMENT at least... ain't that grand?

THAT is the great accomplishment of GW! To exchange one government not by the people for another government not by the people, thereby liberating the people of Iraq, they are now free to... sit still in their homes and hope there are no insurgents around their home so they won't get bombed.

I think that it is great that GW have made the Iraqis this free.

That's right. All Germans are liberal socialist heathen fascists.

But back on topic, why shouldn't Cheney praise Bush. Surely a president appointed by God is better than some liberal communist pinko appeaser aka Truman.

Speaking of speaking... I wonder how successful Bush will be on the public speaking tours after he is booted in November? I mean really, can you imagine paying money to listen to him talk for an hour? Ex presidents like Clinton demand large sums of cash for speaking engagements. Can you see this happening with Bush? Hell no.

..sounds like you want a used car salesman to lead this country...Kerry sells both sides of every issue, so I think you found your poster-boy.

it's funny how 90% of Galt's responses are character attacks. Very similar to the Bush campaign, not focusing on the issues and trying to deflect attention away from anything important.

It's funny how CAD tries to defend his party, he types "yap yap yap" and thinks that it somehow passes off for an actual response. What a moron.

I'm talking about you galt, not me. Try and prove you don't do what I accuse you of doing, instead of dodging the question.

I must have missed the "important" question that I am "dodging"...all I saw was an attempted attack on me using your spin to make it seem like I am attacking someone else?"I'm talking about you galt, not me." Perhaps, then, you should worry more about "Sudheer Anne" and less about "xxxxxJohnGaltxxxxx." Or, at the very least, don't be guilty of the crimes you purport others to be committing.

How did you say it? "PWNED"

baaaJohnGaltbaaaa, your first post in this thread was a personal attack on Klixxer.

You have offered nothing of substance to this thread.
