“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Dick Cheney's balls

Cheney:
"The enemy that struck on 9/11 is weakened, fractured, but still lethal and still determined to hit us again," he said. "Either we are serious about fighting this war on terror or we are not."

For a guy who was instrumental in getting us involved in a war that had nothing to do with the enemy that struck us on 9/11, these are mighty big words. Maybe if we'd focused a little harder on the enemy that actually struck on 9/11, they would be both less lethal and less determined to hit us again. Instead, we're stuck with reminders of one of the Bush administration's biggest failures in the war on terror - bringing the guy responsible for 9/11 to justice.

And we're so serious about capturing Osama that we started a whole new war that had no connection to him, forcing our troops to be tied up in a different country and diverting resources to a new front in the war on terror.
