WOW
you REALLY believe that?
he created energy policy in a back room with a bunch of car and auto company ceo's and lobbyists...
he pushed for entry into iraq for what increasingly appears to be no rational reason.... in an apparent turn around from his prior opinions on the subject of iraq during bush I
his blind trusts increased exponentially...and i mean by thousands and thousands of percentage points because of haliburton and blackwater.
is there a cause and effect? i woudn't swear to it... but i wouldn't discount it.
and we know that his influence on bush was far greater than any VP ever, right down to him trying to claim that he was both executive and legislative branch and that everything he did was privileged.
and he and rummy shoved colin powell out of power in order to solidify their own.
no other vp in history would ever have been allowed to get away with that.
see, i think GWB was just a bad president. i think dick cheney is smart... and as bad for our country as anyone in it's history has been.
