Thursday, after said that Iyad Allawi was painting an overly rosy picture of the situation in Iraq, Dick Cheney said:

"John Kerry is trying to tear down all the good that has been accomplished, and his words are destructive to our effort in Iraq and in the global war on terror," Cheney said. "As Prime Minister Allawi said in his speech, and I quote, 'When political leaders sound the siren of defeatism in the face of terrorism, it only encourages more violence.' End quote."

And when political leaders lie to the nation in order to save their own asses, it only encourages them to fuck us over again and again and again. You gotta love it when the man responsible for a quagmire that has killed over 1,000 US soldiers and 20,000 Iraqi civilians, all for a lie, has the nerve to lecture us about inciting violence.

By the way, how's Mary?
