Though it's nothing new, sometimes you just have to sit back and marvel at the might of New Journalism.

Cheney gives a big FU to America

Dick Cheney spoke frankly on Good Morning America today in re: to 5th Anniversary of the Grand Blunder. Via Think Progress:

CHENEY: On the security front, I think there's a general consensus that we’ve made major progress, that the surge has worked. That's been a major success.

RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it's not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So?

RADDATZ So? You don't care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls

Big Dick also doesn't give a shit what the Pentagon thinks either. Despite the exhaustive report it recently released showing virtually no connection between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, Cheney (during his "surprise" visit to Iraq) insists there was one, so his word alone justifies our five years of clusterfuck.

Mind you, he was answering a Gannonesque softball tossed to him at the Baghdad news conference by his own official biographer, a guy who wrote a book entirely devoted to justifying Cheney's delusions.
