DICK FOR COVER DEPT.

Imagine if the deadly February 28, 2007 attack on the US base at Bagram had
wounded VP Dick Cheney there on an unannounced visit and imagine further that he
received the same sub-par treatment in his recovery as have so many of our
GI’s.  This would indeed have been unfortunate, of course, but imagine all this
happening after a young Mr. Cheney made it such a personal mission to avoid any
military missions, witness his 5 deferments from the Vietnam
era draft.  Well, it seems, the fates don’t always have a sense of irony; lucky
for Mr. Cheney.  And maybe lucky for us, because who can say how his successor,
George Bush, would have governed.
