'Vanity war: A frat boy's keg party approach to foreign policy'

Well it took over a year, but finally Vice President Dick Cheney, the Bush administration's leading towel snapper, actually stumbled upon a truth the other day when he suggested if it were up to Sen. John Kerry, "... Saddam Hussein would still be in power in Iraq.''

Yes, and more than 570 American military personnel might still be alive. And hundreds more of the 3,000 soldiers wounded in George W. Bush's vanity war would not need to be fitted with a prosthetic limb.

And countless other U.S. families would not have had their lives imploded simply because the president of the United States and his fellow country club warriors took a Get Smart intelligence approach to going to war.
