A GOP Plan To Oust Cheney

The big question right now among Republicans is how to remove Vice President Cheney from office. Even before this week's blockbuster series in The Post, discontent in Republican ranks was rising.
As the reputed architect of the war in Iraq, Cheney is viewed as toxic, and as the administration's leading proponent of an attack on Iran, he is seen as dangerous. As long as he remains vice president, according to this thinking, he has the potential to drag down every member of the party -- including the presidential nominee -- in next year's elections.
Removing a sitting vice president is not easy, but this may be the moment. I remember Barry Goldwater sitting in my parents' living room in 1973, in the last days of Watergate, debating whether to lead a group of senior Republicans to the White House to tell President Nixon he had to go. His hesitation was that he felt loyalty to the president and the party. But in the end he felt a greater loyalty to his country, and he went to the White House.

Not gonna happen while Bush is in office. He prefers to promote incompetence...and since Bush already has the top post in that department, there's nowhere for Cheney to go.

I sure hope not.
As someone whose family escaped Islam in the 1950s, I find all this anti-war with Islam stuff surprisingly foolish. We've been expecting this war for decades.
It's like being a Jew watching Europe trying to appease Hitler (whom Islam sided with in WWII and who are STILL trying to finish what he started).
It's suicidal and short-sighted. Have you read the holy books of Islam? Have you lived amongst them? Have you seen what they plan for the West and world in general?
If ANYONE tries to stop this, they have my contempt, just for their utter lack of effort to understand the situation, let alone for what side they pick. I don't have any contempt for "radical Islam" (what a joke that term is!) I have contempt for the Islamic people who claim "it is the radicals", and the Westerners who say, "It is the radicals".
VIce President Cheney saw what we were facing in a few decades. He caught them before they were ready.
You want them to have more time? More freedom to prepare the war they have been working toward for decades, if not centuries?
No.

Cheney is Big Daddy neocon. The whole lot should have been gotten rid of in 2004.
