Vice President Cheney has finally allowed a minor crack to form in his insane wall of stubbornness. He finally admitted this week that he was wrong about the insurgency being in it's "last throes" back in 2005 when it was in fact getting much stronger by the day. However, he tempered this admission by claiming that the administration was very comfortable with all its decisions and would repeat all of them, even if it knew then what it now knows about the lack of WMD, the lack of terrorist ties to the Baath Party, and the amount of chaos caused by the invasion. While this stubborn attitude may serve the Vice President insofar as his political goal of showing loyalty to his decisions and showing no weakness to his political rivals, it is so far removed from the reality of the situation that he has lost all credibility with the American people and will surely be remembered by history as the most powerful and most foolish Vice President to serve this nation.
