“As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President 0bama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low-key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war.
He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of Sept. 11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.
He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core Al Qaeda-trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But we are at war and when President 0bama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe.
Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency — social transformation — the restructuring of American society. President 0bama’s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war.”

Why Mr. President?

Nice...and where was Dick and his words of wisdom during the Bush's term in office? He hides out, acts like a fool and now speaks truthfully. This is something all Americans need to read.
Possibly Cheney should have run in '08 instead of McCain.
Don't know that it'd have turned out any differently, but Cheney's usually pretty straightforward in stating what he believes.
He makes mincemeat out of most lib interviewers, and with a [faint] smile on his face. McCain, on the other hand, was too often an easy mark for liberals to get riled up, or, alternatively, he would retreat from a position to keep from appearing "angry".
