Some Things Never Change

Dick Cheney's head is still planted firmly up his own ass, for instance:

The Bush administration will aggressively pursue terrorism in Iraq and on "every other front," Vice President Cheney said Monday, asserting that the United States is now paying the price for two decades of weak responses to terrorist attacks.

Addressing Marines who have just returned from Iraq, Cheney said the failure of both Republican and Democratic administrations to retaliate decisively after terrorism incidents during the 1980s and 1990s led directly to the atrocities of Sept. 11, 2001.

"The terrorists came to believe that they could strike America without paying any price. And so they continued to wage those attacks, making the world less safe and eventually striking the United States on 9/11," Cheney said. [...]

"Time and time again, for the remainder of the 20th century, the terrorists hit America and America did not hit back hard enough," he said, rallying the crowd. "As President Bush has said, the only way the terrorists can win is if we lose our nerve and abandon our mission."

And if the frequency and magnitude of terrorist attacks has steadily increased since the Bush Administration began to "hit back" (at civilians and "terrorist suspects"), well, that only proves that:

A. The terrorists are getting desperate. B. Al-Qaeda is in its last throes. C. We aren't dropping enough bombs, torturing enough niggers, destroying enough houses, changing enough regimes, building enough bases. Spending as much on the military as the rest of the World combined won't cut the mustard -- we gotta spend even more (after all, we wouldn't want the President's Uncle Bucky to miss a mortgage payment for his new home).
