Cheney's SENSITIVE HYPOCRISY:

Cheney mocked John Kerry for promising to "fight a more effective, more thoughtful, more strategic, more proactive, more sensitive war on terror." He accused Kerry of believing "Al Qaeda will be impressed with our softer side." But President Bush has used the exact same term in the exact same way. On 3/4/01, Bush said, "because America is powerful, we must be sensitive about expressing our power and influence." Just last April, Cheney himself said, "We recognize that the presence of U.S. forces can in some cases present a burden on the local community. We're not insensitive to that. We work almost on a continual basis with the local officials to remove points of friction and reduce the extent to which problems arise in terms of those relationships."
