| Cheney speaks in North Idaho and autographs a famous photo |
| 2006-11-05 |
| Vice President Dick Cheney defended the Bush Administration's policy on Iraq, took a few jabs at Democrats - including John Kerry - and predicted a Republican sweep in Idaho on Election Day. The speech to Republican faithfuls took place inside an airport hangar. The Vice President stepped off Air Force two shortly after 5 p.m. He walked down the plane's steps and into a black limonene, which carted him through the freezing rain to the airport hangar. Who is that man signing that picture?  |

| #7 how long has the war been going on v/s an enlistment period and whatever the officers call it? Isn't just about everyone who is serving now someone who could have gotten out if they didn't want to fight in Iraq? |

| #6 "According to the mainstream media meme, all the National Guard troops are pissy because they've been hoovered up by the evil Bushitler-Chainey war machine and forced to go to Iraq." False dilemma, of course. (g) They could be mad at having to go to Iraq, but, as Austin Bay put it so well, they're even madder at Kerry for his evil, anti-military bigotry. |

| #5 Just a little side note: the people in the pic are Minnesota National Guard. According to the mainstream media meme, all the National Guard troops are pissy because they've been hoovered up by the evil Bushitler-Chainey war machine and forced to go to Iraq. I bet it bugs the hell out of the media guys when people don't play along with The Narrative. |

| #4 predicted a Republican sweep in Idaho on Election Day. What? But I thought we agreed to let them have... All right. Replace 13.45.2 of VoteCount.cpp with 13.45.3. Download to all machines. |

| #3 I saw that pic as a screen saver at the Balad Air Base Space-A arrivals desk. Everyone on the lift chuckled. |
