Dick Cheney has declared war on you

Hates puppies. And you.

No longer content with the wars he's got going (Afghanistan, Iraq, Civil Liberties, basic human decency), Cheney is fixin' to throw down with Russia over its invasion of Georgia.

I find the phrasing, specifically the claim that Russia's actions "Must not go unanswered," particularly pleasing. You can practically see Cheney's knuckles whitening around the neck of whatever small animal he was throttling as he delivered this latest verbal 80's action retread.

For some strange reason, I'm compelled to call into question the sincerity of Cheney's dedication to national sovereignty. But hey, if Bill Kristol is on board, what could possibly go wrong?
