Even Jimmy Dean would have had trouble selling sausage to the people in his factories who see how it's made.The Seattle Post Intelligencer reports on Vice President Dick Cheney's speech to a room packed with hundreds of troops during his surprise visit to Iraq:
When he delivered the applause line, '"We're in this fight to win. These colors don't run," the only sound was a lone whistle.The trip also raises questions about whether the US trusts Iraq to "stand up" so the US can "stand down."
U.S. forces guarded Cheney with weapons at the ready while Iraqi soldiers, who had no weapons, held their arms out as if they were carrying imaginary guns.Makes you wonder about that old Dick Cheney quote about how Americans would be "welcomed as liberators" in Iraq. (SeatlePI)
