CIA Director Panetta: That Cheney Guy Seems To Be Jonesing For Americans To Die Or Something. McCain Defends...Cheney
Disgusting. Though it does change the subject from Nancy "The CIA Misled Me" Pelosi.
"I think he smells some blood in the water on the national security issue," Mr. Panetta said in an interview published in the New Yorker magazine's June 22 issue.
"It's almost, a little bit, gallows politics," said Mr. Panetta, a former Democratic House member from California. "When you read behind it, it's almost as if he's wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point."
Mr. Cheney has said in several interviews that he thinks Mr. Obama is making the United States less safe, remarks Mr. Panetta called "dangerous politics."
Remember when questioning someone's patriotism was bad and dissent was what all the cool kids were doing? Now it's fine to claim someone wants to see Americans killed in an attack simply because they had the temerity to criticism Obama.
Cheney for his part doesn't take the bait.
For all the vitriol hurled at Bush and his administration, I don't remember them stooping to this kind of personal attack. Once again, liberals demonstrates how badly they suffer from a mass case of projection.
If a Bush official had said this about a Democrat, he'd be the subject of spittle inducing Special Comment, instead there's no doubt Panetta will be the subject of a loving profile tonight.
Intellectual honesty or consistency has never been a strong suit of your average liberal.

"I disagreed with the Cheney policy on interrogation techniques, but never did it cross my mind that Dick Cheney would ever want an attack on the United States of America," the former Republican presidential candidate said during an appearance on Fox News. "It's unfair, and I think that Mr. Panetta should retract, and retract immediately."
Well, now I've seen it all.
