[Huffpoo] Former Vice President Dick Cheney offered an extremely morose prediction about the country's future on Tuesday.
Asked on the Hugh Hewitt radio show whether he believes the United States could survive the decade without another attack on the homeland, Cheney said, "I doubt it."
"I think there will be another attack and next time, I think it's likely to be far deadlier than the last one," he added. "Imagine what would happen if somebody could smuggle a nuclear device, put it in a shipping container and drive it down the Beltway outside Washington D.C."
Cheney should not be faulted. He's thinking worst case, outside the box. His and Bush's fault lies in not lining the Memorial Bridge with the heads of the FBI and National Intelligence Agencies immediately following 9/11. |
