Put the blame on Cheney ~ Good article

This isn't how Papa Bush and the handlers thought it would work out. Not when they put solid Dick Cheney in charge of the kid's government.
With all of his experience in government, from White House chief of staff to congressional leader to secretary of defense, Cheney was the one who would avoid the big mistakes, who would make up for Junior's lack of experience.

Cheney was supposed to prevent something like this from happening. He was supposed to protect the not so well prepared W. from the big mistakes. And yet, as more accounts of the maneuvering inside the administration are revealed, it is increasingly clear that it was Cheney who was the moving force behind the decision to fight a war of choice against Iraq.

But Cheney turned out to be the leading neoconservative. According to one account, he told Bush in February of 2002 that he believed it was a mistake to have not eliminated Saddam during Bush I and that now was the time to do it. And he then drove the policy through to war. Cheney was put there to prevent Bush from being duped by those with axes to grind, yet the vice president turned out to be the chief ax grinder.

Yes, the buck stops with the president, but the more I learn about what happened behind the scenes the more I say put the blame on Cheney.

...might be bold enough to dump Cheney in '04?

Either... have him drop out because of 'health concerns'

or... do a Mea Culpa and publicly dismiss him for being too far to the right?

I dunno, if he chose a centrist VP, it might go a long way towards bringing Chimpy back to the 'center' -- in the public's eye, at least. Cheney could become fall guy for the veer to the right quite easily. It's probably a remote possibility, but VPs have been dumped before.

I wouldn't put anything past these cretins...

I checked on amazon and the only biography I found was a children's book, and I find that amazing. There doesn't seem to be much detail on the internet, either.

Who IS Dick Cheney?

That he skipped out on Vietnam because he "had other priorities"
