Amazing that you can complain about the way other people suposedly dont care about the troops, while at the same time, believing that:Yes that is a message that the Right and Dick Cheney clearly wants to send our troops on the ground in Afghanistan.

Only the most rabid of hyper partisans would try and connect Cheney's comments on Obama's inaction as some kind of "troop bashing."
Cheney's distorted comments towards the commander in cheif while ignoring that the current situation in Afghanistan is one that he directly had a hand in creating..is bashing at the moral of the troops.....YES IT IS.
In that case, every democratic congress person has been bashing the troops for the previous 8 years.
I'm sure that if I bothered to look, you repeatedly criticized Bush and Cheney throughout their terms, so you also "bashed" the troops according to your own definition.
Yeah. When Harry Reid got up and declared that "we've lost" in Iraq, no, somehow, that wasn't bashing the troops.
I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why.
It's complicated by people like you who only wish to cut-n-run.

Attempts to belittle your opponent, while a common tactic here...... does not further one's argument of the issues.
Speaking of dithering...Was it lost before the "Surge" that took Cheney and Bush 5 years to make a decision on? After turning down the recommedations of experienced miltary people that were telling them up to 600,000 to "Do the job correctly"?
The ones that Cheney fired.
Cheney has ZERO credibility when it comes to making sound military decisions.

Obviously not. But it would have been lost if Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, et al., would have gotten their way.
Which is the point. We're hearing echoes of the exact same defeatist talk now, in this thread . . . and it isn't coming from Cheney.
Can't those people you named get their way now?
What is stopping them?
Because they all know that if they have their way they'll end their political careers forever. They have to figure out a way to lose the war and make it look like someone else's fault.

What, to this?

Stopping them from what? The surge already happened.
What it was ..was an opinion which noone can now say is true or false until our troops are out of Iraq & we see what happens. I hope things will stabilize there but fear that the Iraqis savages will simply resort to the tribal fighting that has been their hallmark for thousands of year.
Reid was premature to say the war was lost .....but anyone who now claims it is won...is equally premature.
Mission is not accomplished in Iraq & never was.
What would winning look like?
