2. Dick's exploratory committee for President of U.S. is shut down quick, because
no one wanted to vote for him, or give him money, because he just didn't have that charisma. Instead someone with just as much experience as Brier Rabbit to be president "George Bush" is elected. So Dick gets into the White House posing as a V.P. and runs it like the gestapo.

6. Cheney was a great of Secretary of Defense because he had
Edited on Mon Jun-07-10 07:15 PM by Uncle Joe
adult supervision during H.W. Bush's administration, with Bush as President, and Jim Baker over Cheney while Colin Power was under him as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff so Cheney had no where to go. Cheney was effective as Secretary of Defense and able to get things done.

When he was Vice President Cheney had no adult supervision, certainly not from Bush the Least, it was a co-Presidency up until 2006 when Rumsfield was fired, on occasion Cheney even dominated Bush.

Cheney isn't a neocon but is a hyper-nationalist believing in the one percent doctrine, that being if 1% of all the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay are truly bad guys and the rest are innocent, that's okay.

I'm paraphrasing here, but some 80+ year old man; (unnamed) in government told Wilkerson that Rumsfield was a lying sack of shit and when Wilkerson asked this old man about Cheney, he said Cheney and Rumsfield were joined at the hip.

Wilkerson said Cheney and Rumsfield brought about the down fall and eventual ouster of Kissinger because Kissinger was for Detente with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Cheney used the revolving door to the max when he left government to become CEO of Halliburton using all his government connections to make mega bucks for Halliburton and in turn him self.

When Bush the Least; asked Cheney to lead his exploratory committee searching for a VP, Cheney knew he would end up choosing him self and become Vice-President.

That's the gist of what I got out of it along with some NAZI references being applied to Cheney and his office; Addington etc.
