Vice-President Cheney, talking about how Democrats should not exert their Constitutional powers:
“The terrorists don’t expect to beat us in a stand-up fight. They never have. They’re not likely to try. The only way they can win is if we lose our nerve and abandon our mission.” New York Times article, (registration required).
So, should I ask how we can win? Because I am not really seeing a way. I am not even sure what "winning" in Iraq would look like.
Also in the article:
And when those lawmakers seek to impose time limits on the American presence in Iraq, Mr. Cheney added, “they’re telling the enemy simply to watch the clock and wait us out.”
That is what "the enemy" is doing now! That is all they have to do!
