ARTICLE: Cheney, On Carrier, Sends Warning To Iran, By David E. Sanger, New York Times, May 12, 2007

Cheney announces our failure and telegraphs our fears: Don't even think about doing that which our previous acts and choices both enable and encourage--grabbing for nukes and trying to dominate the region.

There is an obviousness to Cheney. He says what doesn't need to be said and never broaches what must inevitably be explored. What passes for sophistication with these guys is just painful to watch. Cheney's outlived his era.
