I agree with Cheney: some critics are dishonest. Some democrats are contemptible.
But I just watched a video of Murtha talking and heard Cheney's response.
Murtha is solid and sound. He is leading a bipartisan tidal wave that will soon wash the desert clean of the barbarians.
Cheney talks of the civilised world. But he is not a part of a civilised world. Yet even a man who thinks torture is fine does not dare just now to attack Murtha. The savaging of the opponent will not work any more.
Cheney says the intelligence was not distorted. Read the archive of this blog. The evidence of it is overwhelming.
"'The flaws in the intelligence are plain enough in hindsight. But any suggestion that prewar information was distorted, hyped or fabricated by the leader of the nation is utterly false,' Cheney said in a speech to the American Enterprise Institute.
As to proposals for a rapid pullout of U.S. troops, Cheney said, 'It is a dangerous illusion to suppose that another retreat by the civilized world would satisfy the appetite of the terrorists and get them to leave us alone.' "
