"A sensitive war will not destroy the evil men who killed 3,000 Americans"

DAYTON, Ohio — Vice President Dick Cheney (search) ridiculed John Kerry's (search) call for a "more sensitive" war on terror Thursday, saying it won't impress the Sept. 11 terrorists or the Islamic militants who have beheaded U.S. citizens.

"America has been in too many wars for any of our wishes, but not a one of them was won by being sensitive," Cheney told supporters in this swing state. "A sensitive war will not destroy the evil men who killed 3,000 Americans. ... The mensensitive war on terror that reaches out to other nations and brings them to our side and lives up to American values in history."

Kerry spokesman Phil Singer said Thursday that Cheney was being disingenuous and twisting the four-term Massachusetts senator's words. Singer noted that President Bush had used the word "sensitive."

"Dick Cheney's desperate misleading attacks now have him criticizing George Bush's own words, who called for America to be 'sensitive about expressing our power and influence.' Dick Cheney doesnt understand that arrogance isn't a virtue, especially when our country is in danger. ... If Dick Cheney learned this lesson instead of spending his time distorting John Kerry's words, this country would be a safer place," Singer said.

4. There goes any chance that Bush-Cheney will attract many female voters
He is basically saying that he wants an insensitive foreign policy.

5. Bush: March 4, 2001
Precisely because America is powerful, we must be sensitive about expressing our power and influence. Our goal is to patiently build the momentum of freedom, not create resentment for America itself. We pursue our goals; we will listen to others; we want strong friends to join us, not weak neighbors to dominate. In all our dealings with other nations, we will display the modesty of true confidence and strength.

13. Kerry was obviously
talking about relations with America's former allies.
Any idiot who heard the full quote would understand that.
Cheney is a vile cretin.

14. Kerry should admit his mistake in saying that
"Bush's war on terror was too insensitive" and state clearly that he was just trying to be respectful. He meant to say that "Bush's war on terror was so idiotic it had to be planned by morons". So Cheney is right, the "insensitive" word was poorly chosen, "stupid", "idiotic" and "moronic" were the correct words to describe Bush's war.
