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." Find more on the sensitive hypocrisy here. [more ]
