Fresh from an engagement in a parallel universe, please welcome Darth Cheney

i don't know about you, but i've been somewhat underwhelmed with news reports of middle east countries begging us to stay...
Vice President Cheney said the deployment this month of a second aircraft-carrier task force to the Persian Gulf delivered a "strong signal" of the United States' commitment to confront Iran's growing influence in the region.

Countries in the Middle East "want us to have a major presence there," Cheney said in a Newsweek interview published online yesterday. Referring to the deployment of the carrier USS John C. Stennis, Cheney said, "That sends a very strong signal to everybody in the region that the United States is here to stay, that we clearly have significant capabilities, and that we are working with friends and allies as well as the international organizations to deal with the Iranian threat."

oh, yes, we simply MUST deal with The Iranian Threat... would that be the same Iranian Threat that we have been so busily working to create, or could it possibly be an hallucinatory iraqi flashback...?
