Insane In The Dick Chene(y)

As I said below, Dick Cheney's comments about the recent terrorist attacks in Russia are quite alarming to people who enjoy not dying. Eg, me.

If I didn't convince you the first time, look again at what Cheney said:

I think a lot of our European friends have been somewhat ambivalent about this whole proposition with respect to how we deal with these terrorist attacks. I think some have hoped that if they kept their heads down and stayed out of the line of fire, they wouldn't get hit. I think what happened in Russia now demonstrates pretty conclusively that everybody is a target, that Russia, of course, did not support us in Iraq. They did not get involved in sending troops there. They've gotten hit anyway. And I think people are back sort of reassessing now, in terms of what the motives may be of the people who are launching these attacks or using these kinds of tactics against our people.

Now consider that with just a few changes, it could have come out of someone else's mouth... and would sound considerably more convincing to many more people:

I think a lot of our Muslim friends have been somewhat ambivalent about this whole proposition with respect to how we deal with these terrorist attacks against the Umma. I think some have hoped that if they kept their heads down and stayed out of the line of fire, they wouldn't get hit. I think what happened in Iraq now demonstrates pretty conclusively that everybody is a target. Iraq, of course, did not support us in our martyrdom operations against the Great Satan. They did not get involved in sending mujihadeen there. They've gotten hit anyway. And I think people are back sort of reassessing now, in terms of what the motives may be of the people who are launching these attacks or using these kinds of tactics against our people.

All this makes me wonder: has the deadline passed to transfer to a different planet?
