Not Quite "All Options"
The abnormally visible and loquacious Dead Eye Dick Cheney keeps popping up in the news. Maybe he's asserting his true role as Decider-in-Chief, albeit abroad. The statement he made in Australia that "all options are on the table" when dealing with Iran's nuclear program seems particularly disingenuous, since the option of diplomatic negotiations with Iran is "off the table." So, what does that leave? Varying degrees of military action. (Bonus: Check out the matching outfits of Dead Eye and Australian PM John Howard in the AP photo - - they could be body doubles).
