Disrespect I'll shoot ya

President Bush sent out his proverbial attack dog to hit Iran today, and Vice President Cheney said that, "we will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon." Please, pretty please?

I find these threats not only eerily similar to the rhetoric that the Bush administration used in the fall of 2002, but mindblowingly hollow. WE DO NOT HAVE THE TROOPS to back up the the threat of invasion against Iran, and I think it is pretty clear that not only do they know that but that they will continue their pursuit of a nuke despite of any other consequences.

In other words:


Cheney then went on to threaten "meaningful consequences" if Iran develops nuclear weapons. Those meaningful consequences? You guessed it: birdshot to the face.
