But actually safely on an aircraft carrier out at sea in the Gulf, Cheney points at Iran and yells," You're next!"

“Vice President Dick Cheney used the deck of an American aircraft carrier just 150 miles off Iran’s coast as the backdrop today to warn the country that the United States was prepared to use its naval power to keep Tehran from disrupting off oil routes or ‘gaining nuclear weapons and dominating this region.’

He really is a one-trick pony, isn't he?

Main Entry: one-trick pony
Function: noun
: one that is skilled in only one area; also : one that has success only once

Or maybe that's a no-trick pony.....
