George Will, a conservative who believes the U.S. should leave Afghanistan, admonishes Cheney for his “dithering” comment.
“A bit of dithering might have been in order before we went into Iraq in pursuit of non-existent weapons of mass destruction. For a representative of the Bush administration to accuse someone of taking too much time is missing the point. We have much more to fear in this town from hasty than from slow government action.”
Will is one of the few remaining intellectual conservatives out there.
Well he and Sarah Palin. </joke>

Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown is one of the brighter and more honest guys in Congress. Here he is explaining why Dick Cheney’s comments on Afghanistan should be ignored…along with everything else The Dick has to say about anything. .
.
Perhaps as history suggests, the Afghanistan conflict is not a winnable war and to accuse the President of dithering is hypocrisy of the highest order. Cheney’s Iraq folly has much to do with the current problems in Afghanistan.
Let me illustrate again the only place where Cheney and his toady George belong.

Pesto Day! Harvesting the basil today which is about 18 inches high and then off to the kitchen to work some magic on it.
If you’re not into this most wonderful of herbs, you should know that…
The nutritional value of basil cannot be underestimated. It is rich in vitamins A and C and contains elements like potassium, magnesium and iron, as also substances like phosphorous and calcium.
The word basil comes from the Greek basilikon meaning ‘royal’. Basilikon has its root in basileus, the Greek equivalent for king. That speaks volumes for the importance given to this herb in the culinary world from ancient times and in varied cultures. Basil is given pride of place in culinary circles not for its exquisite flavor alone, but also for its value as an herbal remedy for many ills. The Italians embrace it as a symbol of love, while in India it is a sign of hospitality.
…and it just tastes so good.
