"This long-term struggle became urgent on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. That day we clearly saw that dangers can gather far from our own shores and find us right there at home," said Cheney ...
"... the United States made a decision: to hunt down the evil of terrorism and kill it where it grows, to hold the supporters of terror to account and to confront regimes that harbor terrorists and threaten the peace," Cheney said. "Understanding all the dangers of this new era, we have no intention of abandoning our friends or allowing this country of 170,000 square miles [i.e., Iraq] to become a staging area for further attacks against Americans." So he's going to attack the U.S. next, since it has been the base for those who bombed the Cuban airliner (i.e., Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles), etc., etc.? Oh wait, if you look at Cheney's foreign and domestic policies during the last 7+ years, it looks as if his goal was to destroy U.S. power. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
