George Stephanopoulos just had to give Liz Cheney some more air time on his
bobblehead show in another of his "fair and balanced" panels. Sorry Liz but
what's "inexcusable" is your daddy helping to get us into this quagmire in
the first place. I still want to know when she's signing up for the military
if she wants to keep beating those war drums.
WILL: The danger is that the president is going to be seen as escalating
this war. He�ll do it half-heartedly with his heart not in it, he will lose
his party, and he�ll be supported by Republicans of the stripe of Liz
Cheney, and that�s not a sustainable path.
CHENEY: Well, let me just say that what I will support is the strategy
that actually will win in Afghanistan, a strategy that�s the one that was
laid out by General McChrystal, and I think it�s just completely inexcusable
that we�ve now had month after month after month of photo-op out of the
White House and no decision.
The president is very fond of saying, �Before I commit troops, I�m going
to think very carefully about it.� Somebody in the White House needs to
remind him: He�s already committed troops. We�ve got American men and women
in Afghanistan today, because we�ve got to prevent Afghanistan from again
becoming a safe haven for Al Qaida. The cost of walking away, the cost of
defeat, the cost of retreat is huge. They�re fighting there today, and they�re
fighting without the kind of resources and reinforcements that he needs --
that they need.
