His Own Personal Reality

Vice President Dick Cheney has justifiably earned a reputation for viewing the world from an... "unconventional" perspective. Most recently, within a short period of time, he had this to say about Democratic moves to bring about a scheduled withdrawal of American troops from Iraq:

I think if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we'll do is validate the al-Qaeda strategy.

Less than 24 hours later however, he made it clear that he thinks the British decision to begin pulling their own forces out of Iraq is a positive turn of events:

Well, I look at it and see it is actually an affirmation that there are parts of Iraq where things are going pretty well.

Um... OK.

The great Berkeley Breathed has his own take on Cheney's world view in last week's Opus.
