The whole damn Bush administration is "sensitive"

[Armstead]

Came across this page, which lists a whole lotta "sensitive" comments from Cheney, Rummy and other Bush administration officials.

I guess according to Cheney's definition, he and the rest of the Bush administration are nothing but a bunch of sissies.

Cheney's 'Sensitive' Hypocrisy

In yet another effort to put politics over substance, Vice President Dick Cheney yesterday blasted Sen. John Kerry (D) for his comments earlier this week insisting that America must be more "sensitive" to allies and American citizens' concerns in the "war on terror." Cheney's retort: "America has been in too many wars for any of our wishes, but not a one of them was won by being sensitive." He went on: "A 'sensitive war' will not destroy the evil men who killed 3,000 Americans and who seek the chemical, nuclear and biological weapons to kill hundreds of thousands more." Cheney's attack could have been leveled at himself and others in the Bush administration, both of whom have frequently used the "s" word. See these other examples of how Cheney's cheap political attack contradicts his own stated positions on military affairs and social issues.

RUMSFELD STRESSES NEED TO BE "SENSITIVE" IN THE WAR: In the lead up to the Iraq war and afterwards, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld promised the Pentagon would be "sensitive." On 2/5/03, he said "we have to be sensitive, to the extent the world thinks the United States is focused on the problems in Iraq, it's conceivable that someone could make a mistake and believe that that's an opportunity for them to take an action which they otherwise would have avoided." On 7/9/03, he reassured the public that his department was being "sensitive" to troop needs during the war. He said U.S. commanders are "sensitive to the importance of troops knowing what the rotation plan will be so they have some degree of certainty in their lives. And are sensitive to the importance of the quality of their lives."

1. Cheney used the word "sensitive" re forces in April 2003

but for some reason people are only quoting when he said "inssensitive" in that same April speech.

DICK CHENEY, April 13, 2004 in Tokyo (Remarks at April
13 symposium in Tokyo)

We are currently involved in thinking about what our
force posture ought to be on a worldwide basis, not
just with respect to the Pacific and Japan, but forces
in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and elsewhere. And it's
conceivable as part of that some adjustments will be
made in the posture of U.S. forces in the years ahead.
And certainly, as we go through that process, we'll
want to take into account the need to be SENSITIVE to
the concerns of local folks, and to remove as much as
possible sources of friction there.

2. Cheney may be worse than Bush

Well I guess he is Bush because Cheney pulls the strings.

3. No they're OVERLY-sensitive; can't take criticim, opposition, or questions

They're insecure about their record (and rightly so), and that's one reason they're so good at hostility and pre-emptive attacks. "They can dish it out, but they can't take it."

It's one of the traits of facsism; also of narcissism, insecurity and psychopathology.

The scriptwriters must've been thinking of BushCo when they gave this line to Jack Nicholson: "You can't handle the truth!"

More from above

CHENEY & LOTT URGE MILITARY TO BE SENSITIVE IN CONDUCTING WAR: In conducting the first war in Iraq, then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney repeatedly stressed the need for America to fight a "sensitive" war. On 9/11/90, Cheney told Congress that he "was very concerned about…the clash of cultures" brought on by U.S. troops being stationed in Saudi Arabia, and that the U.S. must "try to be sensitive." Sen. Trent Lott (R-MS) concurred, saying, "I would agree to that. I think are sensitive, but we also are sensitive."
