- "We, of course, already know that when Cheney endorses a war, he exempts himself from participation. On second thought, maybe it's wise to keep Cheney off the battlefield -- he might end up shooting his comrades rather than the enemy.
On a more serious note, instead of listening to the foolishness of the neoconservative ideologues, the Cheney-Bush team might better heed the words of a real conservative, Edmund Burke: 'A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood.'"

From the site: "VICE PRESIDENT Dick Cheney recently
attacked my 1972 presidential platform and contended
that today's Democratic Party has reverted to the
views I advocated in 1972. In a sense, this is a
compliment, both to me and the Democratic Party. Cheney
intended no such compliment. Instead, he twisted my
views and those of my party beyond recognition. The
city where the vice president spoke, Chicago, is some-
times dubbed "the Windy City." Cheney converted the
chilly wind of Chicago into hot air."
