While my first regret is that Cheney ever came to power, my second is that he will not live long enough to read the history books written about him.

The taxpayer is also picking up the tab for the 800+dead and 8,000+wounded civilian contractors in Iraq. They are dogging them on disability ratings and payments the same way they are the soldiers. Under the Defense Base Act they must first prove they have PTSD before they are provided medical care for it.
The military medical system has spread a superbug throughout it’s entire evacuation system, hospitals, VA system, and on to our community hospitals all over the country.
So many lives lost and ruined, families expected to live like paupers and wounded soldiers having to beg to survive.
Cheney just keeps getting richer.

A week ago, a local soldier was profiled in our city’s paper. His head was misshapen from an IED blast that blew part of his skull and brain away, and his left eye. His face was tattooed with the shrapnel and debris. And they spoke of using laser surgery to eliminate those ‘tattoos’ which looked like varicose veins.

But there was uncertainty whether he could undergo the ;aser treatment because explosive powders got embedded in his skin. The reconstructive effort could cause them to ignite and add fresh burns from those flashes.

Such is the horrific reality. All I hear emanating from Cheney is fantasy. And lies.

As the somg goes, “There’s got to be a morning after”.
Soon, when many of the returned soldiers still suffering from horrific injuries to body and soul realize what the score is, they will demand the attention and compensation they deserve.
Calling someone a hero is one thing. Taking care of someone like a hero, well, that’s a whole ‘nother deal.Maybe the “Got to break a few eggs to make a great omlet” thingie will be mentioned.

Noonan and her friends over at the WSJ are begining to figure this out. They’re slow learners, Og once great leader , Og now bad.It took them ONLY 7 years to see “whut up”.

I’m reminded of another song,
“old man look at my life,
24 and there’s so much more…..”

I’ve said that Dick Cheney is the most evil person in this country, and I have said that before he ever became VP.
When Cheney was Defense Sec’y at the time papa wimp Bush invaded Panama in 1989, Cheney was the one who ordered that journalists be held on an airplane for most of a day, until mass graves of the poor in El Chorillo neighborhood were dug and filled to hide the evidence of bungling in that ‘war’ on a defenseless little country. Cheney thus blatantly broke the law which had been hammered out after Grenada, the law reassuring that the American public, through the press, know just what was being done in their name.
Well, I suppose Cheney believes, since he could break the laws of this country in 1989 and get away with it, that he has fully ‘arrived’ now to be the supreme law-breaking dictator behind the latest Bush puppet. Cheney has gathered a whole cadre of ass kissing traitors into his camp to allow him to hold any facts he damn well wants to from the American people.

Phil — it’s a Sunday editorial, so maybe they’ll list it on Sunday. I trust the link works.

I just looked at the Times website, and the Cheney editorial is not listed. Did Dick the Dick kneecap someone at the paper?
