Anybody who believes there’s one iota of difference between Cheney and Bush when it comes to political/governing philosophy is dead wrong. Cheney has made a deal with the Bush family to take the fall for the Bush administrations incompetence so G.W. can save his legacy. The PR campaign is on and in the final analysis Cheney will end up the bad guy and Bush will be the good guy.

Why is Cheney not writing his memoirs from a jail cell. Its a given that he was at the heart of the lies told all of us in the lead up to the Iraq War. What greater crime could any political leader commit? Yet he sits in one of his mansions writing his version of what took place. Completely safe from any recriminations for his past deeds. Ofcourse the truth of what happened long ago passed thru the shredder before he left his office. What a blazing example of a justice system completely disfunctional. I’d always assumed he would have no recourse but to fake his own death and go join kenny Boy overseas. I guess I had not concidered that would only be nessecary if we still had a funcioning third branch of goverment.

The vexing question: Shouldn’t Mr. Cheney be writing his memoirs from a Federal Prison? Hasn’t he done enough damage?

Seeing as how he didn’t tell the truth even once in 8 years, I hope the bookstores have the good sense to classify his book as “fiction.”

The Republican like to throw around the accusation of Nazi! when defaming liberals and progressives and yet the only group that fits the profile of Adolf Hitler is the Bush/Cheney White House. The arrogance and certitude and disregard for the laws that define their positions as elected public officials has only been as ignored in one place and that is the Washington years of Bush/Cheney.

They are criminals and it is beyond me why they have not been completely investigated. We still can’t find out what outrage Cheney and the energy executives perpetrated at the out set of Cheney’s domination of the Bush White House.

We find the new Democratic Administration protecting the crimes against humanity and the crimes against the American People that was perpetrated by this unbalanced monster. The thing we should be talking about here is not his fabricated memoir, but why he is free to strut about the country he helped to destroy. A would be dictator——-but as there is no downside for him, perhaps he succeeded.

More the shame.

I wonder if Cheney will tell us more about Bush’s religious fundamentalism that drove his “mission from God.”

The following is an excerpt from The Charlston Gazette, by James Haught

Incredibly, President George W. Bush told French President Jacques Chirac in early 2003 that Iraq must be invaded to thwart Gog and Magog, the Bible’s satanic agents of the Apocalypse.

Honest. This isn’t a joke. The president of the United States, in a top-secret phone call to a major European ally, asked for French troops to join American soldiers in attacking Iraq as a mission from God.

Now out of office, Chirac recounts that the American leader appealed to their “common faith” (Christianity) and told him:

“Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East. ... The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled. ... This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins.”

This bizarre—seemingly deranged—episode happened while the White House was assembling its “coalition of the willing” to unleash the Iraq invasion. Chirac says he was boggled by Bush’s call, and “wondered how someone could be so superficial and fanatical in their beliefs.”

After the 2003 call, the puzzled French leader didn’t comply with Bush’s request. Instead, his staff asked Thomas Romer, a theologian at the University of Lausanne, to analyze the weird appeal.
