Throw THESE words back at Dick Cheney:

"Remember, we lost 3,000 people here on 9/11. And what we've been able to accomplish--although I must say we regret any casualties. You'd like to be able to do everything casualty-free. When you think about what we've accomplished in terms of taking Afghanistan--we've had a total of 30 killed in action in Afghanistan--taking down the Taliban and destroying the capacity of al-Qaeda to use Afghanistan as a base to attack the United States, launching an attack into Iraq, destroying the Iraqi armed forces, taking down the government of Iraq, getting rid of Saddam Hussein, capturing 42 out of the 55 top leaders, and beginning what I think has been fairly significant success in terms of putting Iraq back together again, THE PRICE WE'VE HAD TO PAY IS NOT OUT OF LINE, and certainly wouldn't lead me to suggest or think that the strategy is flawed or needs to be changed." <emphasis mine>

You thought wrong Dick. What a tragedy for those 2100 American soldiers, their families, and untold numbers of Iraqis.

"THE PRICE WE'VE HAD TO PAY IS NOT OUT OF LINE ..."

You're right, Dickie. The price YOU'VE had to pay is figuring out how you're going to spend the millions in profit you've made on your Halliburton stock options.

The PRICE the families of the dead and wounded soldiers have had to pay is something else again.

Is that some kind of warped spin so we won't realize those are DEATHS he's talking about?

This man is evil incarnate.

Let's help put that term into the good old American lexicon.
