Sensitivity Training
Sure, Sure, Sure. Everyone knows that Dick Cheney said this: America has been in too many wars for any of our wishes, but not a one of them was won by being sensitive. Those who threaten us and kill innocents around the world do not need to be treated more sensitively. They need to be destroyed. AND President Lincoln and Gen. Grant did not wage sensitive wars. Nor did President Roosevelt or Gens. Eisenhower and MacArthur. […] A sensitive war will not destroy the evil men who killed 3,000 Americans. … The men who beheaded Daniel Pearl and Paul Johnson will not be impressed by our sensitivity.
WOO-HOP, everyone. WOO-HOP!!
In response to John Kerry saying this: I believe I can fight a more effective, more thoughtful, more strategic, more proactive, more sensitive war on terror that reaches out to other nations and brings them to our side and lives up to American values in history.
Just before Cheney took the stage, with wife gazing at him lovingly, and followed by wife saying “I just kind of shook my head when I heard that. With all due respect to the senator, it just sounded so foolish. I can’t imagine that al-Qaida is going to be impressed by sensitivity.”
— as everyone knows, George Bush said shortly after John Kerry spoke of sensitivity,… well…
Actually I haven’t had a chance to see if that’s the clip I want, but nevermind… as we all know, Bush said thiseth:
Now in terms of the balance between running down intelligence and bringing people to justice obviously is – we need to be very sensitive on that.
And Cheney said this.
But that’s too easy.
How about typing “sensitive” and “sensitivity” into the search engine at whitehouse.gov and seeing how many times Bush Administration used the words in matters of warriordom? Here’s a start, or maybe a finish.
