CIA Director: Cheney "wishing that this country would be attacked again"

Sunday, June 14, 2009

Wow, them there's fightin' words:
CIA Director Leon Panetta says former Vice President Dick Cheney's criticism of the Obama administration's approach to terrorism almost suggests "he's wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point."

Panetta told The New Yorker for an article in its June 22 issue that Cheney "smells some blood in the water" on the issue of national security.

[...]

Panetta said of Cheney's remarks: "It's almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read behind it, it's almost as if he's wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point. I think that's dangerous politics."
The question now is only how long it takes Cheney to emerge from his submarine lair to fire his super-powerful "laser" at Leon Panetta. For those of you that don't get that reference, please click here. :)
