The speech Friday by Vice President Dick Cheney on Iraq policy used an argument that we've heard way too much already:
Those who declined to support the liberation of Iraq would not deny the evil of Saddam Hussein's regime. They must concede, however, that had their own advice been followed, that regime would rule Iraq today.

The first sentence of that quote is a sneer. The real implication of this is that anyone who wasn't ready to rush to war in March was pimping for Saddam Hussein.
In general, the response to that should be something like this. Since Johnny Cash was very much opposed to the Iraq War, it's doubly appropriate.

But I also want to say, if anyone reading this thinks war profiteer Dick Cheney gives a rat's petootie about the human rights of Iraqis, please e-mail me privately. I've got a great financial opportunity I want to let you in on, involving the son of a recently deposed African dictator...
