(AP) A suicide bomber attacked the entrance to the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan on Tuesday during a visit by Vice President Dick Cheney, killing up to 23 people and wounding 20. Cheney was unhurt in the attack, which was claimed by the Taliban and was the closest that militants have come to a top U.S. official visiting Afghanistan. At least one U.S. soldier, an American contractor and a South Korean solder were among the dead, NATO said.
I really hope this experience is a wake-up call for Cheney to take the Taliban and al Qaeda seriously, but I am not going to hold my breath. Apparently, fighting them in Iraq isn't working because THEY ARE NOT IN IRAQ! Or, at least, they are not in Iraq to the extent that Cheney would have us believe, they weren't viable in Iraq before we invaded, they had no ties to Iraq, and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11!
Cheney lied us into Iraq, and despite the fact that all his lies have been proven wrong, he continues to lie. He is easily the most evil and the worst vice president ever. It is unbelievable to me that he is still in office or that anyone still believes him or supports him.
It is good that he was not injured or killed, but it is bad that so many people have been injured or killed because of him.
Laura Bush On Iraq
Proving that you don't have to be an official member of the Bush administration to be completely wrong about Iraq, in an appearance on last night's Larry King Live, Laura Bush weighed in with her deep thoughts:And many parts of Iraq are stable now. But, of course, what we see on television is the one bombing a day that discourages everybody.
Yes, it's that one bombing a day that's getting us all down. But of course, as is often (always) the case with her husband, reality tells another story. And reality says that during this week alone, there has been 34 bombings in Iraq, which works out to nearly 5 a day.
Why would I expect anyone in the Bush administration or family to have any grip on reality?
I guess hope springs eternal.
