F-ing Cheney. No wonder the world hates us...

Dominic Bellone, in his daily Hardball newsletter, wrote this today:

A curious quote from Vice President Dick Cheney on the atrocity in Russia a couple of weeks ago: "Previously Russia hasn't always been as supportive, with recent circumstances, would Russia take a more aggressive stance and continue to fight terrorism with us around the world?" Cheney said, "You know, there's been a, in some circles, in Europe for example, some of our European friends have been somewhat ambivalent about this whole proposition with respect to how we deal with terrorist attacks. I think some have hoped that if they kept their heads down and stayed out of the line of fire, they wouldn't get hit. I think what happened in Russia now demonstrates pretty conclusively that everybody is a target. That Russia, of course, didn't support us in Iraq, they didn't get involved in sending troops there, they've gotten hit anyway."

Mother F-er. Am-F-ing-bivalent? So what? All of our allies are wimps because they chose not to go into Iraq? They deserved to get hit?

How does anyone even question whether Kerry will get better support from our allies?
