if not now, soon and here's the misleader sources

Cheney neglected to mention that President Bush and other top administration officials - including Cheney himself - have publicly called for "sensitive" use of American military power. Here is a selection:

On 3/4/01, at the christening of the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan, President Bush said, "because America is powerful, we must be sensitive about expressing our power and influence."<3>

On 1/7/03, Gen. Richard Myers, the chairman of the president's Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the administration asks "our troops to go out there and be, on the one hand, very sensitive to cultural issues, on the other hand, be ready to respond in self-defense to a very ticklish situation."<4>

On 4/13/03, Cheney said, "We recognize that the presence of U.S. forces can in some cases present a burden on the local community. We're not insensitive to that. We work almost on a continual basis with the local officials to remove points of friction and reduce the extent to which problems arise in terms of those relationships."<5>

5. always start at www.whitehouse.gov if you want a speech transcript
here are the remarks you were looking for, straight from the WH website :smoke:

Now in terms of the balance between running down intelligence and bringing people to justice obviously is -- we need to be very sensitive on that.

6. Is Kerry Setting a Trap for The Repugs?
If They have clips of Dubya using the word sensitive, and paste it to Cheney's comments about nobody winning a war by being sensitive, that could turn around and bite the Repugs in the ass.

I get the feeling that Kerry is deliberately trying to bait the Repugs by acting lame. There's still time before the RNC to collect ammo. The real fireworks won't start until after the RNC is over.

Is this what is meant by playing chess instead of checkers?
