Deja-vu all over again

Vice President Cheney has emerged from an undisclosed location to try to scare the living daylights out of us again, characterizing any change in policy on Iraq as a "retreat" and "an invitation to further violence against us." Meanwhile President Bush threatens that ending the occupation of Iraq would put us at risk of terrorist attacks “in the streets of our own cities.”

Compare this frightening rhetoric to what the Bush administration has done to protect us and decide for yourself who is "soft on security":

Eroded our civil liberties and engaged in illegal surveillance of citizens.

Evaded the laws of the US and the world to commit torture.

Invaded Iraq with no post-war security plan, creating chaos, civil war, and a training ground for new terrorists.

Failed to implement the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission to secure US ports, transportation outlets, and high risk facilities.

Now that's something to scream about.
