Cheney's Bull
There is a great piece from Reuters today with prewar and postwar quotes from Cheney. They show his conviction, against all evidence, that beyond the unfounded WMD arguments, Cheney aggressively promoted the idea that al Qaeda was linked to and working with Iraqi intelligence sevices. Today he claims:
"This is revisionism of the most corrupt and shameless variety. It has no place anywhere in American politics, much less in the United States Senate," said Cheney.
The quote above is regarding criticism that Bush intentionally misled the country into war (57% of the American people believe it did, but then again a majority also was convinced by Cheney et al that Saddam played a role in 9/11). However much Cheney may call discussion of the war patriotic, his statement is shallow and he doesn't even bother to stay consistent. He accuses Democratic critics of being motivated by "self-defeating pessimism". So it's ok to criticize the Administration, but it is a sign of self-defeating pessimism? Sounds like he has a lot of respect for those who disagree.
