Missing the Point

Well, now we know that Darth Cheney knew of the "terror" plot when he did his rant:
The thing that’s partly disturbing about it [Lieberman's loss] is the fact that, the standpoint of our adversaries, if you will, in this conflict, and the al-Qaeda types, they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task.
My question/observation is--doesn't this whole thing prove the administration to be absolutely WRONG in their approach to "turr?" Odds are, these British "home-grown terrorists," skepticism intact, are probably pissed at their lap dog Tony Blair and his inexplicable support of W's cowboy game. So, the "war on terror" caused it and good old-fashioned police work stopped it. The administration wants war, which causes death and destruction, and they disparage "law enforcement," which stops it.

At the Battle of Yorktown, when the British surrendered, their musicians played "The World Turned Upside Down." That ditty marked the beginning of what would become the United States of America. Perhaps we should play it again.

This new "if yer anti-war then yer pro-turr" mantra is such a ridiculous stance that it's "hail Mary" (pardon the irony) quality makes it laughable even to independents who might still consider Lieberman a viable option.

Looks to me like the Rove playbook is on the last page...
