Like Father, Like Daughter

Liz Cheney writes an editorial in todays Washington Post. Here are her points:

We are at war. Ok, we are at war. So how do we determine when the war is won? With whom do we negotiate a possible peace settlement? If this so-called 'war' is so important, why aren't the American people called upon to fund it with taxes? Is this like the war on drugs, poverty and cancer?

Quitting helps the terrorists. Possibly. I might concede that point if you will concede that the Iraq War itself has helped the terrorists. How many young men an women hate the USA now because of the Iraq War? Not only in Iraq but in all middle east countries.

Beware the polls. You claim the American people do not want to lose this war. But the polls clearly show the American people no longer support the war. How can you win the war (and please define how we will know we won it) without the support of the people?

Retreat from Iraq hurts us from the broader war. I guess your Dad should have thought of that before lying us into the Iraq War. BTW, do you actually believe that Pervez Musharraf is an ally of the USA? You must be as ignorant as your father.

Our soldiers will win if we let them. "American troops will win if we show even one-tenth the courage here at home that they show every day on the battlefield." You mean the courage of war supporters to join the military and help out? Or do you mean the courage to make financial sacrifices to fund the war? Prove to me that "global terrorism" can be defeated by military force.

I have a couple of questions for you Ms. Cheney. Has your father been right on one single thing concerning the Iraq War? Why should we continue to take his advice?

Oh yeah, one more. Do you ever go bird hunting with your dad?
