"It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States," Cheney told about 350 supporters at a town-hall meeting in this Iowa city.

If Kerry were elected, Cheney said the nation risks falling back into a "pre-9/11 mind-set" that terrorist attacks are criminal acts that require a reactive approach.

Right. Besides the sheer sleaziness of this tactic (and is anyone really surprised by it?), Cheney expects the American voter to be an amnesiac...Sept. 11 2001 happened on his watch.

I hope his hope in that amnesia is missplaced.
