What the hell was he doing from 2003 thtu 2008, while the Taliban was rebuilding?  

In Afghanistan, he was just sitting on his ass, taking up space, pissing away the good will of the Afghans, and making today’s problems there inevitable!!!

In Iraq, he was pissing away 2 trillion dollars of our money, to get his buddies access to hundreds of billions of dollars worth of oil!!!

In the big picture, he was making the world a safe place for Bush to hold hands with foreign kings, while the rest of the world began to loathe America!  

Today, his buddies (Halliburton) have emigrated to Dubai, so they don’t have to pay the bill when it comes due.  

Today, Cheney has an exit strategy: pin the blame for his evil and incompetence on someone else, and duck responsibility!!

Cheney’s Republican “individual responsibility” has all the characteristics of an erection, and none of those of a backbone!  It’s rigid and inflexible in its boasting and posturing, but now that there’s work to be done, it’s shriveling up, making itself as small as possible, and has no intention of taking its share of the load.  

On the other side, we haven’t been as strong as we should be, but we are flexible enough to deal with reality, and we will shoulder the load, because we’re stuck with it.  

But, we should be shouting, “Are you too weak to carry your share, or just too lazy?”, until that’s the only question on the table.
