Oh wise and all-knowing Cheney, guide us to freedom

Cheney bludgeons us over the head with FEAR:

Vice President Cheney warned on Tuesday that if John F. Kerry is elected, "the danger is that we'll get hit again" by terrorists, as the Bush campaign escalated a furious assault on the Democratic presidential nominee that has kept Kerry from gaining control of the election debate.

In Des Moines, Cheney went beyond previous restraints to suggest that the country would be more vulnerable to attack under Kerry. "It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on November 2nd, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again," the vice president said, "that we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States, and that we'll fall back into the pre-9/11 mind-set, if you will, that in fact these terrorist attacks are just criminal acts and that we are not really at war."

Does the Vice President know something we don't know? Is he saying that if Bush is re-elected, the terrorists absolutely won't attack, that they'll only attack if Kerry's elected? Can this man possibly try and scare the American people more? "If John Kerry is elected, terrorists will eat your babies and paint your houses chartruese!"

It blows my mind how he can say this kinda stuff, especially since, as the State Department has noted, the world is actually less safe since George Bush took office. After stirring up that hornet's nest in Iraq, a country that had NOTHING TO DO WITH AL QUEDA, after refusing to implement the 9/11 commission's suggestions, after cutting the pay of our first responders, now they're claiming that Kerry's going to make America less safe. How can he do any worse? Bush has set the bar pretty damn low.

UPDATE: More fear-mongering. And mixed messages?
