June 19, 2006 REPORTER: About a year ago, you said that the insurgency in Iraq was in its final throes. Do you still believe this? CHENEY: I do. What I was referring to was the series of events that took place in 1995 [sic -- 2005]. I think the key turning point when we get back 10 years from now, say, and look back on this period of time and with respect to the campaign in Iraq, will be that series of events when the Iraqis increasingly took over responsibility for their own affairs. And there I point to the election in January of '05 when we set up the interim government, the drafting of the constitution in the summer of '05, the national referendum in the fall of '05 when the Iraqis overwhelmingly approved that constitution, and then the vote last December when some 12 million Iraqis in defiance of the car bombers and the terrorists went to the polls and voted in overwhelming numbers to set up a new government under that constitution. And that process of course has been completed recently with the appointment by Prime Minister Maliki of ministers to fill those jobs. I think that will have been from a historical turning point, the period that we'll be able to look at and say, that's when we turned the corner, that's when we began to get a handle on the long-term future of Iraq.

I am president bush and ps os usa gulf war is my last war in my crrier and my economy is up side down sorry i am failiur to making policy before war but what is heppend it was a lie based but i cant refund it.
This isn't an insurgency, it's full fledged resistance! Cheney's dishonesty and twisted words (masterfully delivered I must say, he dodged that question with bad faith on a grand scale!) aren't convincing anyone.
The reality is, Iraqis are free to fight off the foreign military occupation of their country. Defending one's national sovereignty is true patriotism, standing up to humanity's most powerful military is true courage. I hope the US brings troops home so they stop dying for nothing.
lol...in 10 years you'll be dead and history will name you as the biggest AZZ ever, just ahead of Bush. Sad how all these morons think they were the greatest leaders ever. I'm sure Stalin, Hitler, Saddam, etc,etc, all think they were the greatest too. In the end, Cheney and Bush will end up on the ash-heap of LOSERS in world history.
he is a dead dick, he is sick, still dreaming of victory? well, a small arms group defeated them with all the sophisticated machines they have with their 9 carriers parked there! well, could they match Iran or its just another dream?
Terrorists? We have bad leaders right now, but you try that supposed "bombing" of america, wait until we no longer abide by the pansy ass rules of war that makes the iraqi conflict a total joke and we fucking destroy your' country and nuke the shit out of it if need be...go ahead and try, it'll be your death wish.
These guys are the terrorists, America needs its own regime change. The people of America need our liberation, they need Democracy and if bombing the shit out if it justifies the means, then let's go hahahahahaha (lets see how the tables turn, and average Americans can't even find a running tab water).
