Yesterday, a bellicose, ubermensch Dick Cheney made public threats against Iran. . .even before he has finished sorting out the Iraq situation. Cheney is clearly a paper tiger. We don't even have the troops, resources, or will to "finish up" the war next door to Iran. Or is this his strategy for the cut and run option in Iraq?The Veep weighed in heavy over the last week on the inherent goodness of domestic spying and standing fast in the war in Iraq. He also subtly warned breakaway Republicans to pipe down and mind their own business.
In the White House itself, Cheney--after a brief public stint in the doghouse [1] --is back in charge. It's going to take more than a mere shooting or his top aide's indictment to take down the top dog.
[1] While still still running the show. . .but offscreen for a week or so until they could all get back ahead of the story.

Shouldn't the title really be Cheney v. The U.S.?
