Republicans sticking to their Iraq story

Vice President Cheney, appearing on CBS' Face the Nation, rejected Allawi's assessment that Iraq is in a state of civil war and said insurgents have "reached a stage of desperation."
Cheney also said he did not regret previous statements — that U.S. forces would be greeted as liberators and that the insurgency was in its last throes — and said they "were basically accurate, reflect reality."
Apparently, if you tell a lie often enough and stick to your story, people are expected to believe you and know what the party line continues to be.l
