Cheney, The Bomb Magnet --The Rec Report --By Michael Rectenwald 28 Feb 2007

The target of a suicide bomb/failed assassination attempt in Afghanistan, Dick Cheney was reportedly "fine" after the blast, according to his spokeswoman. The explosion purportedly killed as many as 23 people, at least one of whom was a U.S. soldier, another of whom was an American contractor, and the third, a South Korean soldier. At least twenty others were wounded.

<snip>

When Cheney, the most reviled person on the planet excepting Bush, travels around in Afghanistan or Iraq, people are inevitably killed in an attempt to kill him. Given the premeditated, unprovoked and hostile takeover of Iraq by the US, is anyone surprised? Should anyone be? Given the US's actions in the Middle East, Cheney is a natural bomb magnet.

The basic rule is this: when Bush and Cheney move around in space, especially Middle Eastern space, other people die. A bomb magnet is going to attract bombs. Since he knows and accepts this fact without question, Cheney is at least partially responsible for the deaths of innocent people, especially those killed in protecting him.

Cheney owes not only the Iraqi people an apology. He also owes an apology to the families of those killed in yesterday's attack. The US citizens should demand this apology on behalf of the victims.

3. The bomb threat was not even close to where Cheney was to have been

...which makes me think it could have been a false flag threat to somehow get conservatives and the right wing stirred up in support of more anti-Islamic actions like the invasion of Iran

4. That's a good point, whistle.
