I know some of y'all hate Cheney, but . . .

In the Reuters report ()Cheney takes refuge in bomb shelter after Afghan blast) about the suicide bombing supposedly targeting VP Dick Cheney in Afghanistan, I liked this dismissive quote from Cheney in responding to a question about the impact of this attack by Talibanites:

"'They [the Taliban] clearly try to find ways to question the authority of the central government,' Cheney told reporters traveling with him out of Afghanistan on a military plane to Oman.

'Striking at Bagram with a suicide bomber I suppose is one way to do that.'"

Like with his straight-talking comment about Dem retreat plans validating the Islamists' strategeries, I really enjoy his matter-of-fact manner
