Vice President Cheney is a chickenhawk.

[Pokey007]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg on Wednesday called Vice President Dick Cheney "the lead chickenhawk" against Sen. John Kerry and criticized other Republicans for questioning the Democratic presidential contender's military credentials.

But Sen. John McCain, a decorated war hero and former prisoner of war, scolded Lautenberg for attacking the Bush administration during the Iraq conflict and said it was time to "declare that the Vietnam War is over."

In a scathing speech on the Senate floor, Lautenberg, D-New Jersey, said that he did not think politicians should be judged by whether they had military service but added that "when those who didn't serve attack the heroism of those who did, I find it particularly offensive."

"We know who the chicken hawks are. They talk tough on national defense and military issues and cast aspersions on others," he said. "When it was their turn to serve where were they? AWOL, that's where they were."

Lautenberg pointed to a poster with a drawing of a chicken in a military uniform defining a chickenhawk as "a person enthusiastic about war, provided someone else fights it."

"They shriek like a hawk, but they have the backbone of the chicken," he said.

"The lead chickenhawk against Sen. Kerry [is] the vice president of the United States, Vice President Cheney," Lautenberg said. "He was in Missouri this week claiming that Sen. Kerry was not up to the job of protecting this nation. What nerve. Where was Dick Cheney when that war was going on?"

when voicing the truth is radical you know there has either been a neocon takeover or you are in the company of an self-important idiot.

Do you really consider Frank Lautenberg to be the "radical left"? Or do you define anyone who disagrees with GWB as being the "radical left"?

 

[arsbanned]

Yeah seriously, Frank is no left winger. I agree with every word he said too.
Which part did you disagree with btw.

KERRY: THREE PURPLE HEARTS in VIETNAM!

BUSH: TEXAS AIR NATIONAL GUARD

Facts don't matter in America anymore. People will believe anything you tell them, especially if you are supposed to be acting in their interests.

That being said . . . Bush is going to get his . . . sooner or later all his lies will crumble.

As Al Gore's father said in the Vietnam War era, "The truth will rise again!" Hopefully that day will be soon, or else we're going to see lots more death and destruction.

Bush Air National Guard.
Cheney: OTHER PRIORITIES.
Now THAT is disgusting. That this man, who failed to serve his country, because he had OTHER PRIORITIES commits troops to fight a phony war based on lies.

I absolutely ageee. And even if Kerry's first purple heart wasn't that serious he still has...TWO..more purple hearts!!!! Anybody who has one purple heart is respected in my book and two is that much better.

Stupid chickenhawks.

Here some questions for eveyone who was between the ages of 18-36 on 9/12/01.

Did you support our invasion of Afghanistan to get rid of the Taliban and Al Queda?

Why didn't you enlist?

Yes.

I was selfish. I put the financial well being of my family over my country.

I had better things to do with my time.

The picture

This reminds of when Alfonse D'Amato brought a diagram of a pig to the Senate chamber (he might have sang too). Damn I love being from the Tri-State area...

someone had to say it cheney, bush, ashcroft. talk tough but when they were put to the test, they failed. limbaugh himself ducked by citing an ass pimple to get a medical deferment. course this congenital defect did not stop his father from serving in ww2.
