Have you seen Al-Zarqawi? No, He's in hiding. Have you seen Bin Laden lately? No, he's in hiding as well. Have you seen Mr. Bush lately?...

Who we have seen, after a notable absence during Libbygate, is the Vice President of the United States, Mr. Dick Cheney. Now that he has emerged; this erstwhile CEO of Haliburton chooses to refer to anyone who opposes the so called war in Iraq as lacking backbone.

With all due respect, Mr. Vice President, did you put on the uniform of your country and fix your bayonet? Did your family pray everyday for your safe return from harms' way.

Do you have any idea what it feels like to jump out of a helicopter while people who want to kill you are shooting real bullets, causing real carnage, real blood? Any idea, or just some vicarious notion?
I'm sure that you can imagine it but I'm equally certain that you did your level best to avoid being drafted and never once considered enlisting.

You, sir, imagined it enough to know that it was to be avoided. Let someone else do it. Vietnam was a poor mans war and Afghaniraq is as well, and you, sir, are not poor.

I can only speak for myself in telling you that your remarks were offensive.

You go on to infer that if a person doesn't support the war then they don't support the troops. Nothing could be further from the truth. I support the troops, I was one. My heart goes out to every soldier still sticking his neck out and my heart goes out to his or her family.

At the same time I have drifted toward not supporting the war. I guess I no longer see the point of it. If Iraq held massive reserves of olive oil would the U.S. be sending our children over there?

You and your boss need to get out from behind the podium and stop preaching to the choir. How about a press conference or two.

Have you noticed that the United States is at war? Along those lines, have you noticed that the choir is dwindling?

Did you take notice of the overwhelming no confidence vote in the Senate?

Congressman Murtha has lived his life by the bones of his back, how about you?
