He's back. Unfortunately. And I swear, every single time this guy opens his mouth, I feel like I gain more and more perspective and understanding about what happened over the 8 year span of the Bush administration. So anyway, here's the article (http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/22/cheney.obama/index.html?iref=newssearch). It features such gems of wisdom as "to completely rule out enhanced interrogation in the future, in favor of half-measures, is unwise in the extreme. In the fight against terrorism, there is no middle ground, and half-measures keep you half-exposed", and "we cannot protect this country by putting politics over security and turning the guns on our own guys." He also says Obama seems "afraid" to make a decision on Afghanistan, and claims that Obama has damaged our international relationships with his foreign policies - I thought that point in particular was pretty rich. Overall, it's some of his most aggressive and idiotic statements since he started being such an outspoken jerk-wad. How cowardly he was during his time as VP, opting to silently manipulate situations from behind the scenes rather than have the balls to speak his mind publicly.
