"You regret every casualty, every loss," US vice president Dick Cheney told reporters during a visit to Jerusalem after the 4,000 death toll was passed.

"It may have a psychological effect on the public, but it's a tragedy that we live in a kind of world where that happens."

And who made this happen?

1. As if he had nothing to do with it.

2. Pretty passive there, Dick

Where's that hands-on, in-control killer we all know and love so much?

4. Wow. Just wow.

5. Fucking World...

It's the world's fault. And as you all know, God created the world.

So God, who wasn't even elected, got 4,000 soldier's killed.

Just like Bush.

6. Is the "tragedy that it has a "psychological effect on the public"?

Or what?

7. yep what a play with words there dick.

8. Of course he neglects to say

9. I hope Cheney drowns in a pool of oil

10. So many passes in life; so little time.

Just a few of Cheney's major passes in his cocooned career:
Accountability for DUIs
Accountability for his Viet Nam draft deferments (5)
Accountability for the tragedy of 9/11.
Accountability for the destruction Iraq.
Accountability for the shredding of the US Constitution.
Accountability for the destruction of the US economy.

The list grows on with the death of the 4000th US soldier in the Bu$h/Cheney war. And Cheney responds with a quip that is so predictable, so banal, and so pitifully ironic, that it makes a sane person's head explode.

11. Ah, republicans. And, yet again, their unique take on cause and effect. NT
