Cheney is not good enough for our troops wrote on Aug 13, 2008 5:25 PM:The history will be written about Cheney and we will look back on this little man with disgust and heartache. So many lives lost and so many people hurt and disabled because of his actions. I hope that some day he apologizes and really feels for the hurt he has caused so many mothers and fathers.

Thank God he's gone soon!

Sickening wrote on Aug 13, 2008 9:15 PM:How sickening is it when a man who has no clue can tie up our freeways and preach to our wonderful men and women soldiers who are dying for no reason. I'm disgusted by him and all there is about him.

Entrenched wrote on Aug 13, 2008 9:34 PM:Cheney and associates will be entrenched in the industrial-military complex far into the future and will profit from the wages of war beyond our wildest imaginations. Evil never ends easy my dear friends.

Grump wrote on Aug 13, 2008 9:42 PM:Jeff makes an excellent point; the VP comes out here along with his huge posy in tow under the disguise of visiting the troops, how convenient that there was a political fundraiser going on at the same time. The troops could give a hoot, I hated when VIPs would visit, it always meant tighter security hassles and more working parties.

Maybe if each attendee was given a bag of rotten tomatoes of cartons of spoiled milk to toss at the "guest of honor." Creepy.

Traffic on the I- wrote on Aug 13, 2008 11:11 PM:So that's the explanation for the traffic jam on the I-5 today? Good grief!

Cheney will never feel any measure of remorse for the damage he has caused. His lack of transparency while simultaneous push for invading everyone else's privacy will be a topic of discussion in constitutional law conversations for generations.

Keep up the awesome work, Mr. Vice President.

Your job, as well as the Presidents, is often a thankless job. Often you are darned if you do and darned if you don't.

Fair winds, Mr. V-P.

Boat wrote on Aug 14, 2008 9:02 AM:As a veteran it irritates me to no end to see Cheney doing things like this. After all, this is the man who said, "I had better things to do in the '70's than serve in the military."

As an American citizen it pains me to have to admit how much I despise my own vice president. And, I do love my country, I served her proudly for ten years. I am first generation American. I am just so saddened by how things have gone downhill in the past seven and a half years. The Constitution has been trashed, our prestige around the world is gone and we are going to have to work hard to get it back.

Hopefully we are all on to better times soon.

Lee wrote on Aug 14, 2008 9:10 AM:Thanks Camp Pendleton Marines

for providing the Vice-President for the write-off he needed to attend the real purpose of his visit,
the Orange County fundraisers.

Without the Camp Pendleton 'visit' to 'thank our troops' he wouldn't be able to legitimately use
Air Force II to attend a fundraisers.

So, here's a big Thank You !
