Thread Name: BS: Cheney To Resign Soon
Subject: RE: BS: Cheney To Resign Soon
If things are going in Iraq come the '08 election cycle the way they are going now it would be suicidal for someone to try to be elected running on supporting the current Iraq policy...

Think back to the summer of '68 and Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon... Same scenerio...

Yeah, it can be pointed out the Humphrey called for ending the bombing but Johnson trumped his own VP by ending it a month before the election... Meanwhile, Nison, rode into the White House with the infamous "Secret Plan" for winding down the Viet Nam War... Problem is that after Nixon got elected we found that the plan must have been so secret that Nixon himself didn't even know it??? Yeah, another 5 years of war and another 22,000 American deaths- some plan...

So, whoever runs in '08 had better have a better foriegn policy than the current guys and it better not contain war, war and more wars... The American people just aren't going to support this failed foriegn policy forever... Even if they wanted to, it's not affordable and at some point in time China is going to grow tired of bankrolling our war machine...

Bottom line: Cheney stays!!! Guarenteed!!!
