Doesn't it seem a bit ridiculous that Cheney and Bush are running on the platform that we're at war, only tough guys like them know how to get us through wars, when its only as a result of their own pre-emptive strategy that we're in war at all?
9/11 was not the start of a "war" (the "war" on terrorism is like the "war" on drugs - its a misuse of the word). It was a very successful terrorist attack. There were a variety of response available to us. Going into Iraq was a textbook "war", and it hasn't turned out to be a terribly successful war so far.
So when Cheney and Bush claim they're the only ones who can guide us through this "war", aren't they really saying "We took you into this war, so we're the only guys qualified to get you out."
