This is rich. Dick Cheney, to a veterans' group yesterday:
The vice president cited the darkest days of the American Revolution, when the war was going badly and ragtag rebels were ready to go home until George Washington rallied them. "They stayed in the fight, and America won the war," he said. "From that day to this, our country has always counted on the bravest among us to answer the call of duty."
Right, Dick. So self-evidently you're not one of the bravest, huh? You of the five deferments during Vietnam, when you told a Washington Post reporter you had "other priorities."
Cheney and most of this Administration remind me of spectators at barfights. "Let's you and him fight!" is their cry, rubbing their hands together with glee. In this case, though, they've managed to allow 1800+ Americans and who-knows-how-many Iraqis to die for a false premise.
