Dick Cheney sez “it’s not an accident that we haven’t been hit in four years.”

This is what’s known as ‘playing both sides of the fence’. If there are no terrorist attacks, they say “We’re doing a super job.” But if there are attacks, they never say, “We’re doing a lousy job.” They say, “They’re getting desperate! We need more resources, more power, more everything to fight this devious enemy.” Either way, they work it to their advantage.

And what about four years ago? Does that mean that 9/11 wasn’t an accident either? By their logic, they should claim some responsibility for it happening, like perhaps their penchant for ignoring memos. But strangely, this idea never seems to occur to them.
