Cheney to grads: War will not drag on indefinitely

NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney told newly minted Coast Guard officers Wednesday that the war on terrorism would be won on their watch and dismissed fears that fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan would drag on indefinitely.
Cheney, sporting a 10-gallon hat, said the troop surge in Iraq "has succeeded brilliantly."


The Fucking idiot then went on to say:

"The war on terror is a lengthy enterprise, but it does not have to go on forever," he told more than 200 graduating cadets during the 127th commencement at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.
"The only way to lose this fight is to quit. That would be irresponsible," Cheney said. "More than that, quitting would be an act of betrayal and dishonor."
The commencement address was Cheney's second in four years at the academy. He was joined by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. President Bush addressed graduates last year.
Cheney noted that the cadets entered the academy during the Iraq war and that it continues as they graduate.
"I am absolutely convinced that we will succeed in the war on terror, and I'm also convinced that it will happen on your watch," he said.
