Here is a quote from Chaney, it appeared in a opinion piece in today's WSJ. The author, Stephan Hayes, gives Chaney credit for his efforts in our war against terror.
We need more people like Chaney in Washington. I am concerned about our future without mean, clear thinking, S.O.B.'s who take no shit like Chaney around. If a Democrat wins the White House, who is going to assume that role, or is the new President going to be surrounded by ivory tower, arm-chair diplomats.

Mr. Cheney has given some thought to the Bush administration's difficulties communicating on the war. "The notion that somehow we've got to get across to people is they just cannot think of this as a conventional war," he says. "This is not Desert Storm. It's not Korea. It's not World War II. This is a struggle that's going to go on in that part of the world for decades. I don't know that you're going to be involved for Iraq for decades; I don't want to say that. But just think about it. We just have to have people understand that and understand that the alternative is not peace. The alternative is not [that] we go back to the way the world was before 9/11. You can't turn back the clock."
