I try not to read anything Dick Cheney says since everything he says makes my head hurt with the stupidity of it. This slipped by the bouncers at the door though. They will be fired:
In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Vice President Dick Cheney was asked what effect the grim milestone of at least 4,000 U.S. deaths in the five-year Iraq war might have on the nation.
Noting the burden placed on military families, the vice president said the biggest burden is carried by President George W. Bush, who made the decision to commit US troops to war, and reminded the public that U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan volunteered for duty.
I have nothing to say in response to this. Even by Cheney's amazing standards, the callousness here is breathtaking.
