Cheney is actually right on this one, as we see how his impending lame duck status has transformed George "Axis of Evil" Bush into a craven shell, kowtowing to a two-bit tyrant in a desperate attempt to achieve a lasting legacy beyond his abysmal mid-east policy.
Anyone who thinks that Kim Jong Il has any intention of halting his nuclear program is beyond naive. This is a total capitulation on our part and everyone knows it, the North Koreans and the Chinese must be sharing a good old belly laugh at seeing Bush on his knees after all these years of tough talk.
It's hard to believe(or maybe all to easy) that it was just last month in Israel that Bush said:
"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,
We have heard this foolish delusion before, as Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American Senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."
Is that my irony meter going off again? What a joke.
