Cheney Speak

The New York Times refers to Dick Cheneys speech as A Disgraceful Campaign Speech, which is certainly true. Even Cheney's own staff was attempting damage control yesterday. But Jaun Cole's analysis gets to the core.

But what is interesting to me is the policy implications. Cheney seems to be saying that the reason there won't be another attack if he is reelected is because he will keep fighting "preemptive" wars.

So, he is promising us more wars, folks. And he almost certainly has Iran foremost on his mind.

As professor Cole tells us the Iraq war was the best thing that could have happened to al-Queda and that we can only assume that Cheney is talking about a war against Iran soon. Keep that in mind when you go to the polls in November.
