Cheney's Vice
Our Vice President has some explaining to do.
Dick then: "I think we may well have some kind of presence there over a period of time," Cheney said. "The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."
Dick now: "What the Democrats are suggesting, basically, about a withdrawal -- you can call it redeployment, whatever you want to call it. Basically, it in effect validates the terrorists' strategy."
Ok, I'll bite: if the bad guys have been in their last throes since last year, how can redeployment validate their strategy? Doesn't "last throes" imply that our victory (and their defeat) is imminent? If the bad guys are on the run, shouldn't we be chasing them? How can you "fight them over there" if they move from the first "there" to another "there" and we stay put at the first "there?"
Maybe Cheney can explain this in his next interview.
