Like some dormant, subterranean creature, Dick Cheney has crept up into the daylight again. Apparently, he was not content with just watching Obama try to dig the country out of the hole created by the last administration. Now the ex-VP is going to fling shit at the president while he's laboring at this monumental task.
What's really disgusting here is that Cheney's motive is so transparent. By repeatedly trumpeting that there was no terrorist attack here in the last 8 years,* he is setting us up for the big "I told you so" should there be one during Obama's tenure. This is a new low for even a reptile like Cheney.
*This boast is based on a common logical fallacy. There is no way to prove that the lack of an attack during Bush's administration was due to his policies. It could have been in spite of them.
If Bush had a red-headed secretary from 9/11 until the end of his last term, would that prove that red-headed secretaries ward off terrorist attacks?

Hey J.K., if I'm understanding your logic on this, you're saying that if the Bush hadn't been elected maybe the terrorists might never have attacked? It's no more outrageous to claim that than what Cheney's claiming. One thing people seem to forget is that it was 8-9 yrs. between the first wtc attack (92-93?) and the second. Using Dickhead's logic, couldn't one also say that Clinton-Gore kept us safe thru the 90's?
It's not my logic, Woodie, it's just logic.That's the nice thing about logic. And, no, you're not understanding it.
