They took the bait. John Kerry, as we all know, has said that he would fight a more "sensitive" war on terror. Dick Cheney's got some fightin' words for Kerry:

America has been in too many wars for any of our wishes, but not a one of them was won by being sensitive. President Lincoln and Gen. Grant didn't wage sensitive wars. Nor did President Roosevelt or Gens. Eisenhower and MacArthur.

Lynne Cheney has piped in as well:

I can't imagine that al Qaeda will be impressed by sensitivity. ... This is kind of left-wing foolishness that certainly isn't appropriate for someone who would seek to be commander in chief. I just kind of shook my head when I heard that.

Let's take a moment to imagine John Kerry's response to these comments:

"Hey Dick, c'mere a second. I'd like a word. Check this out [Kerry brutally slams his fist into Cheney's face, fracturing his jawbone and rendering him unconscious]. Sorry Dick, it wasn't personal. I was just being 'sensitive' to the needs and desires of the American people as well as the larger global community of which we are a part. [Kerry turns to Lynne Cheney] Hey sugar, are you 'impressed by sensitivity' now? No? Well, perhaps you'll have a better understanding of what I mean by 'sensitive' after I kick you in the box and use you as a snowshoe. [Ms. Cheney squeals in fear and runs away, her arms slapping the air helplessly]".

UPDATE: Bush on Sensitivity. [Thanks Atrios]
