I didn't say that there aren't plenty of others (although, considering
Hermit's many failed predictions of doom if his appeasatory and self-
blaming US foreign policy advice was not followed, he is
unquestionably not among them), just that in the context of that single
statement, Cheney was indeed prophetic.
I have the feeling, however, that if I'd titled the post "A Prophet" instead,
I still would've been flamed, simply because some people onlist cannot
stand for anyone in the current administration to be right about
ANYTHING.
