The subject under discussion is a comment Dick Cheney made. Is there
something in that statement that rings true? How can he rank the deaths
of four Americans, a tragedy to be sure, but a minor one, as one of the
"worst" incidents he can recall in his career, when his career included
a number of "incidents" in which he was involved that make the deaths of
four people little more than a sad blip?
I blame Cheney far more than Bush for our foreign policy "misadventures"
in Iraq and Afghanistan. Bush is a simple man who was brought up by
decent parents, and I am sure Cheney saw that and lied and misled Bush
to the best of his ability. I don't think that it is my "liberalism"
that makes me feel Cheney is disgusting.
