Legitimate statecraft


Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz (AP file photo)

MOFAZ: If Hamas Â… presents us with the challenge of having to confront a terror organization, then no one there will be immune. Not just [Hamas leader] Ismail Haniyeh. No one will be immune.


Vice President before AIPAC on Tuesday

CHENEY: The Iranian regime needs to know that if it stays on its present course, the international community is prepared to impose meaningful consequences. (Applause.) For our part, the United States is keeping all options on the table in addressing the irresponsible conduct of the regime. (Applause.) And we join other nations in sending that regime a clear message: We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. (Applause.)

Funny, I would’ve thought that reaching across borders to assassinate at will while killing eight-year-olds fell within the definition of terror. And I don’t see anything in the veep’s speech about the advanced nuclear arsenal Israel has pointed at Iran.

    Cheney has to shut up. We have NO credibility condemning Iran when we just gave India the green light to make as many weapons as they want.

    Yeah, oy. The more I look at that photo of entwined flags with Cheney in front of ‘em, the more freightened I get. Maybe we should stick a Chakra in there too.
