This is the first place I've read the following:

Meanwhile, Cheney went on rightwing talk radio to mock Kerry for backing a more "sensitive" war on terror. Laughing, he said, "It strikes me the two words don’t really go together, sensitive and war. If you look at our history, I don’t think any of the wars we’ve won were won by us being, quote, ‘ sensitive. ’"

Same show, minutes later: Why weren’t U.S. troops storming the Imam Ali shrine in Najaf where Shiite militiamen are holed up? "Well, from the standpoint of the shrine," Cheney said, "obviously it is a sensitive area, and we are very much aware of its sensitivity."

Has anyone out there seen "The Hunting of the President," the Harry Thomason documentary based on the book by Lyons and Conason? I haven't seen it yet. Just wondering if it was really good.
