I''m not a big fan of Cheney, but I guess I''ll play devil''s advocate... What if he ends up being right and we do get attacked again? September 11 showed us that in *can* happen. It might not even be due to a specific lapse in security, but rather because we just haven''t thought up some way we could be attacked. Certainly I hope it doesn''t happen, but if it does, I do think it would force Obama to reevaluate some of his policies. I guess I just find it weird that everyone on this board is so convinced that we will not ever get attacked again.
Accusations naivety and lack of judgment coming from the man that pronounced we''d be greeted as liberators and that there was no doubt that were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and continued to insist upon a fictitious link between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda that even George Bush finally admitted was non-existent. Cheney is a laughing stock...hurry up and die old man!

I would like to add that Mr. Clark''s document name for PDB ( presidential daily briefing) in August of 2000 is Alqueda is ready to hit American targets with air planes. Then President recorded response was " squashing these flies is not his top agenda".
