What the hell does he think 9/11 was? They have done nothing but play fear-politics ever since.

Cheney accused of politicizing terrorism - Yahoo! News:

WASHINGTON - Senate Democratic leaders on Friday accused Vice President Dick Cheney of playing politics with terrorism and contended that voters won't buy Republican arguments that the GOP is stronger on national security.

'They've run this play one too many times,' Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in a conference call with reporters. 'The American people simply do not recognize any validity in what they're saying.'

Republicans, in turn, accused Democrats of political posturing.

'It sounds to me like Senator Reid is trying to accuse us of politicizing while he, himself, is politicizing the issue,' said White House press secretary Tony Snow. 'The comments that this administration has been making, including me, have been aimed at simply trying to get people to think seriously about, How do you achieve the goal of winning the war on terror? When you're in a war, the goal should not be how to get out. It should be how to win and then to get out.'
