Cheney says that it's likely we'll be attacked again, and if so it's the new guys fault. I don't know...it kind of sounds like a guy who hopes we're attacked so he can be vindicated.
Kinda like the quarterback who, when benched, secretly hopes his team loses and the backup fails so that the fans and coaches will see all along that he was the man for the job.
I must say that as a former Fortune 100 CEO and VP of the USA it's pretty sad (and selfish) when you blow your chance and then place your vindication above the success of your teammates.
