One can only wonder why Dick Cheney didn't open fire on North Korea to get back the USS Pueblo, which is still there after 40 years. Or why he didn't counsel such an attack when he was in the White House with Richard Nixon, or as Jerry Ford's Chief Of Staff. Or when he was Secretary of Defense under the First Bush. Or as Vice President under the Second.
I mean, it was a spy ship, which clearly had advanced technology, and yet Mr. Cheney stood idly by, doing nothing the entire time. And it's still there.
But I do have to admit, having us invade the sovereign airspace of a foreign power, then complaining when our drone comes down, and then advocating a military strike with the potential killing of foreign nationals on their own soil sounds like just the kind of thing you want to do to encourage the rest of the Arab world to like you.
George Bush may have been the worst President in history, but Dick Cheney was certainly the most dangerous man in government in the past 200 years.
