A dangerous man

The United States "cannot stand by as a terror-supporting state fulfills its most aggressive ambitions," Dick Cheney said recently. It sounds a lot like what he was saying in the weeks before the invasion of Iraq, but this time he was talking about Iran.

The problem is: He was wrong before and he's wrong again. Yesterday, parts of a government report were released and it says that Iran hasn't been working on developing a nuclear weapon for four years. The National Intelligence Estimate, which is the consensus of all the nation's intelligence agencies, says that Iran "is less determined to develop nuclear weapons than we have been judging since 2005."

There is no rogue power with "aggressive ambitions" more dangerous than Dick Cheney.

I don't suppose you'll post this... perhaps Clinton is just as dangerous...
