Dick Cheney is the most powerful vice president in history. Is that good?

from US News:
"The finger-pointing has intensified because of growing disaffection with the administration's Iraq policy, especially the escalating casualties and financial costs. 'The whole Iraq situation was filtered through Cheney, and he gave the president a very skewed view,' says a former adviser to Bush's father. "

you can say that again, brother. i really do think bush is doing what he thinks is logical in iraq, but i also think he's motivated by emotional responses as well as members of his administration with their own agendas. all this combines to create a group of people who are willing to selectively view the world so that they get the picture they want.
