Hey, what if Cheney lied that Bush gave the authority? Wouldn't that

[cantstandbush]

be a hoot. And if Bush doesn't demand that Cheney resign and stands by Cheney in this alleged lie to Scooter what would that mean? Just a hypothetical question. But the fact that the WH has not come out with any denials and Bush has not demanded time to be square with the American people, I am beginning to think this whole thing may have taken Bush by surprise...proving once again that he is not in charge and is not fit to be President.

1. Dirty tricks are Bush's forte

He knew about it.

[neoblues]

2. How many times has he proved that? 6.023x10**23

How many *thousands* of times has he proved that--that he is not fit to be President?
More than I can count.
More than I know.
More than enough.

3. If it is true that bu$h makes no decisions in the White House then

it is possible that Cheney did just as you suggest.

I believe bu$h is nothing more than the fool in front of the camera for the regime.

[dogman]

4. Why do you think they were quizzed together?

They couldn't afford to have this lie on record.

[Scout1071]

5. The same way that he lied about * giving him the order

to shoot down Flight 93?

Pretty well documented that he issued that order to shoot down the plane without having spoken with Bush first.

6. Why do you think * just sat there

reading "Goat," because he knew Cheney would take care of everything.

7. It's definitely a lie. Nothing else makes sense.

But it's Libby who actually did the lying, definitely at the request of Cheney, and perhaps with the permission of Bush.

[Mandate My Ass]

8. that's the only thing that makes sense to me

I think starting with Libby's indictment, the cold war between the veep's crew and the WH's crew has heated up considerably. Ever since Cheney chose himself as veep, it seems he has been promoting his own agenda which dovetails with the Bush cabal's for the most part but not entirely, especially in regard to Plamegate. I think everything Junior does is being vetted by Poppy, and evil scum that he is, I doubt seriously he would condone outing an NOC CIA agent. Even with the help of the corporate media covering their asses, there have been so many missteps and startling disclosures they must be working at cross purposes.

However, now that push has come to shove, and these vermin are finally facing a long-overdue comeuppance, there's nothing they won't do to save their own worthless hides. Loyalty my arse. Go, Fitz!
