More Flogging The Nine Eleven Monkey And The Big Dick Commits Rhetorical Suicide Again

While the Whitehouse continues it's "shake up," The Big Dick Cheney gets busy choking the Nine Eleven Monkey in Washington State. While doing it, he commits rhetorical suicide once again:

None of us can know every turn that lies ahead for America in this fight against terror. Yet the direction of events is plain to see. And this period of struggle and testing is also a time of promise. The United States of America is a good country, a decent country, and we are making the world a better place by defending the innocent, confronting the violent and bringing freedom to the oppressed. We understand the continuing dangers to civilization, and we have the resources, the strength, and the moral courage to overcome those dangers and to lay the foundations for a better world.

So, does the Big Dick have a better crystal ball than we do, or is he simply playing more political parlor tricks and using the back drop of American service women and men to do it? Pawns for the message, the GIs dutifully applaud. But what other choice do they have?

Here's a good question for the Veep next time he actually has a Q & A: What happens when the freedom you say you bring does nothing to help the oppressed, but furthers the oppression of those already down trodden (for example, the poor in America)?
