Victory is that simple! Just think about it, everybody talking about America winning the war on terror and the terrorists; psychologically damaged, would have nothing left to inspire more soldiers to give their lives for.

The man is also an idiot, and a liar. If we were really intent on destroying Al Queda, we would have deftly strangled them by reducing the demand for oil through pure technological achievment progress driven by sheer force of tax incentive and using 1/3 of our "Defense" budget, and the Europeans would have been completely on board. Instead, we have our 23 year olds getting blown up by increasingly sophisticated devices, quite obviously purchased with oil money profits. Iran is on the way to owning nukes. There is little hope. In WW11, we were very smart. But the next global war will be over in about 1/2 hour, so no time for Midway. Get it ? Checkmate people. Sorry. Cheney is a sad, defeated, desperate and dangerous man.
