quote of the day

"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."

– conservative columnist george will

will was remarking on former vice president dick cheney's criticism that barack obama is "dithering" on a decision whether or not to send more u.s. troops to afghanistan.
