Dick Cheney resurfaces.

Wow, I haven't heard a peep from Dick Cheney in months. Dude is so shadowy, I forgot he existed.

But it looks like he crawled out from his spider hole to once again express his special brand of diplomacy. From the Boston Globe:
Vice President Dick Cheney called Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili to express U.S. solidarity in the conflict with Russia and told him "Russian aggression must not go unanswered," the vice president's office said on Monday.

"The vice president expressed the United States' solidarity with the Georgian people and their democratically elected government in the face of this threat to Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Cheney's office said in a statement.

It said Cheney, in a phone call on Sunday, told Saakashvili that "Russian aggression must not go unanswered, and that its continuation would have serious consequences for its relations with the United States, as well as the broader international community."

Not that I disagree with the Bush admin on this one, but is it just me or do we only hear from Cheney when he's picking a fight?
