Cheney Needs a Straightjacket
From Booman. the thing is, before I post what was on there, is that Cheney scares the shit out of me. This is the true embodiment of evil. I told my husband I never see Cheney as vp. When I think of the guy I see one of those horror movies swirl of black clouds moving. Or the original dracula: Nostranafru (sp?). Creepy and evil and scary.
Here is the latest:

Maybe someone should investigate this lunacy. From Steve Clemons:

Multiple sources have reported that a senior aide on Vice President Cheney's national security team has been meeting with policy hands of the American Enterprise Institute, one other think tank, and more than one national security consulting house and explicitly stating that Vice President Cheney does not support President Bush's tack towards Condoleezza Rice's diplomatic efforts and fears that the President is taking diplomacy with Iran too seriously.
This White House official has stated to several Washington insiders that Cheney is planning to deploy an "end run strategy" around the President if he and his team lose the policy argument.

The thinking on Cheney's team is to collude with Israel, nudging Israel at some key moment in the ongoing standoff between Iran's nuclear activities and international frustration over this to mount a small-scale conventional strike against Natanz using cruise missiles (i.e., not ballistic missiles).

This strategy would sidestep controversies over bomber aircraft and overflight rights over other Middle East nations and could be expected to trigger a sufficient Iranian counter-strike against US forces in the Gulf -- which just became significantly larger -- as to compel Bush to forgo the diplomatic track that the administration realists are advocating and engage in another war.

If this is true on any level, and I assume it is, we should have the Capitol police go up to the Naval Observatory and take Dick Cheney out in a straightjacket. The last time Israel fell for his grand schemes, they got their asses kicked in Lebanon.

Funny that Cheney wants to repeat the Bay of Pigs. Maybe he knows that, unlike Kennedy, Bush will fall right into the trap.
