Two weeks after “Mission Accomplished,” Republican (fascist/socialist) Vice President Richard B. Cheney (having received an unlawful advantage of 52 ineligible Electoral votes) says, “My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators … I think it will go relatively quickly … [in] weeks rather than months.”
