I repeat, are Mr. Cheney’s criticisms of the current administrative efforts substantively wrong?

And yet again we return to this seemingly simple question:
Is Obama “dithering” as Cheney says, or acting in a thorough manner as the White House says?
As always, we'll have to wait to see what the answer to this question might or might not be - and I would certainly concede that after his lengthy personal involvement with our Afghanistan policy, Mr Cheney should be quite adept at recognizing such '
dithering' when he sees it - but I'd still like to see the former VPs seven years worth of memos, notes, e-mails, staff directives, journals, and such - as well as their interpolation by his peers - on this matter. However, since Mr Cheney remains a fervent advocate of Executive secrecy and against declassification of such materials (or even allowing access to them by NARA as required by law) which certainly obfuscates the issue, this may take awhile.
Meanwhile, it's the eternal mating season for
Polecatus Washingtonium and
Novus Interventus...and thus continues the overt political posturing by both major parties in their efforts to gain our trust and unyielding 24/7 media coverage of the same circus acts being performed by the same clowns under a new ringmaster.
