Cheney said none of America's heroes would follow Kerry's advice.

"President Lincoln and General Grant didn't wage sensitive wars. Nor did President Roosevelt or Generals Eisenhower and MacArthur."

'So Foolish'

Kerry lacks "deeply held convictions about right and wrong," the vice president noted Wednesday during a forum in Joplin, Mo.

When a citizen asked Lynne Cheney "what in the world" Kerry was thinking about when he made the statement to a group of biased pro-Democrat media types, she replied:

"I just kind of shook my head when I heard that. With all due respect to the senator, it just sounded so foolish. I can't imagine that al-Qaida is going to be impressed by sensitivity."
