MANALAPAN, Fla. - Vice President **** Cheney on Saturday accused the Democrat-led House of not supporting troops in Iraq and of sending a message to terrorists that America will retreat in the face danger.

"They're not supporting the troops. They're undermining them," Cheney told a gathering of the Republican Jewish Coalition at the oceanside Ritz-Carlton hotel in Manalapan, Fla., about 60 miles north of Miami.

On Friday, the House voted to clamp a cutoff deadline on the Iraq war, agreeing by a thin margin to pull combat troops out by next year.

The $124 billion House legislation would pay for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan this year but would require that combat troops come home from Iraq before September 2008 _ or earlier if the Iraqi government does not meet certain requirements.

Cheney called it a myth that "one can support the troops without giving them the tools and reinforcements they need to carry out their mission."

President Bush has threatened to veto the legislation. Cheney said Bush will not withdraw troops before there is stability in Iraq.

"The American people have lost faith in the president's conduct of this war," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said after the passage. A message seeking comment was left with Pelosi's office Saturday.

Cheney and Bush are so out of touch with reality, it is very scary. Thank god there is finally a congress and senate to at least try to keep them in line.

They are not out of touch. It`s people who do not believe in this effort, those who do not believe we are at war with Islamic fascists who are not in touch with reality. The Bill will be vetoed if it makes it to the President`s desk.

Spare me. Sure he will veto it, and let me say again he is completely out of touch with reality. Thank god his presidency has only a few more years left. This S.O.B has damaged our country and the world beyond belief! He should be impeached! Support him all you want, history will show what he did to our country.

Impeached based on what? Impeached on what grounds? Give me a break..

The Dems and liberals would have already impeached him IF it was possible. There are NO grounds for impeachment, that is why it hasn`t been done. Since he cannot be impeached they (the Dems and liberals who hate him) will waste our money by constantly bombarding us with their stupidity.

I love how Mr. Cheney's first name is an obscenity on this board LOL.

Dems wasting our money?????????????? LMAO
How much are the republicans spending on this war????? BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS!!!!!!!!!! Now talk to me about who is wasting money.This is a NO WIN war. Those people are in a civil war.We should NOT be there.Bring our troops home.

This is a war worth fighting. They are NOT in a civil war. Will it take another attack like 9/11 to wake people up to the Islamic fascist threat that we face? Probably not, even then they`ll blame someone else...and they`ll say we brought it on ourselves...

People need to stop letting the mainstream media brainwash them and start doing some legwork and research themselves.

Back to the origin of the post...they cannot impeach Bush because they have NO grounds for impeachment. They will continue to waste our time, money and patience.
