Again, Cheney is talking like it's 2002. Unfortunately, the reality facing America now is that for al Qaeda, it's 2001 all over. The terror network is on the move and it's happened right under the noses of Bush and Cheney. Just this week, we learned that Bin Laden is back in charge. The terror networks are expanding. Al Qaeda has taken full advantage of Bush's war in Iraq to recruit new terrorists. Sure seems like al Qaeda's strategy is already validated. So, what's the response from Cheney? Blame the Democrats:
Cheney ridiculed Pelosi and war critic Rep. John Murtha, a Pennsylvania Democrat, for their opposition to sending more U.S. forces into Iraq.Seriously, Cheney has lost his mind. He's the one who deserves ridicule. Al Qaeda is doing just fine under the Bush/Cheney Administration. Yes, our "war on terror" leaders validated and enabled the al Qaeda strategy. They sent troops to Iraq instead of fighting the terrorists who attacked America.
"I think in fact if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we'll do is validate the al Qaeda strategy, the al Qaeda strategy is to break the will of the American people," Cheney told ABC News.
