After last week's debate, ABC reported anecdotal evidence of voters shocked by Kerry's charge that we let Osama get away at Tora Bora. Shocked at hearing of it for the first time (old news is not always uniformly known), shocked that Bush did not rebut it. (It is no accident that Edwards raised the episode two more times yesterday, again with no rebuttal.) It would not be surprising if voters were similarly shocked at hearing that CEO Cheney was so greedy that he would push for removing sanctions on a country that supports terrorism. Cheney offered a rebuttal of sorts, trying to make it sound like he was simply pushing for stronger multilateral sanctions over unilateral ones: At the time, I was talking specifically about this question of unilateral sanctions. What happens when we impose unilateral sanctions is, unless there's a collective effort, then other people move in and take advantage of the situation and you don't have any impact... But stronger sanctions are not what his argument was "at the time". This is: "We seem to be sanction-happy as a government. The problem is that the good Lord didn't see fit to always put oil and gas resources where there are democratic governments."
