"Cheney is the last person who should be sent out to stiffen our resolve to stay the course in Iraq. Last week, while Bush was vacationing at his Texas ranch, with a small army of antiwar activists camped outside the gate, the vice president was dispatched to Springfield, Mo., to speak at the 73rd annual convention of the Military Order of Purple Hearts, a safe audience".
'A safe audience?'
"After all, he avoided military service in Vietnam with repeated student deferments, once explaining that he had "other priorities" at the time".
Why would any veteran group be a 'safe audience' for someone as despicable and as big of a shameless chickenhawk as Dick Cheney?
I don't get it.
