Dick Cheney Returns Fire! Faux Gnus Warning! LOL!
I know this isn't really news... but hey, we haven't seen Cheney in a while... and guess where he pops up? LOL!!

Snip>

Former Vice President Dick Cheney returned fire Wednesday after the Obama administration claimed it had to form an Afghan war strategy from scratch because the Bush White House hadn't any key questions about the war and left it "adrift."

In a speech to the Center for Security Policy, Cheney disputes the account of Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, saying instead that the Obama administration's embrace of a counterinsurgency strategy in March "bears a striking resemblance to the strategy we passed to them."

"They made a decision -- a good one, I think -- and sent a commander into the field to implement it," Cheney said in prepared remarks, referring to Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who was chosen in May by President Obama to lead the fight in Afghanistan.

"Now they seem to be pulling back and blaming others for their failure to implement the strategy they embraced," he said. "It's time for President Obama to do what it takes to win a war he has repeatedly and rightly called a war of necessity."

1. If Kerry's refutation couldn't convince him, maybe Cheney's endorsement (of escalation) can.

4. "Do what it takes" is Cheneyspeak for
Getting five deferments to avoid military service, then spending the rest of your life talking like John Fucking Wayne (another draft dodger).

5. history will not look kindly on a nation that allowed him to be #2 in government
it will be interesting to see how history frames the 2000 election and the supreme courts decision to meddle in americas politics
