Cheney is apparently in the midst of writing his memoirs referencing the failures of the administration was due to Bush not listening more to him.
The most opportune time they had to discuss what Cheney wanted to do was during his last hunting trip, but Bush decided to stay at the White House in his room, and read the quadrants of Nostradamus instead.
I thought it was well understood that Cheney was running the office, and making policy that was dictated to him by old man Bush, he not be being president was only a formality.
Where is the country headed?, I guess if the past is any indication for what the future holds we are in for alot more than a bumpy ride. It might be more like riding shotgun with an Ice road Trucker in Alaska during a whiteout.
But, if we listen to all their optimistic rhetoric they will try to describe it to be more like a day at the amusement park with free popcorn for everyone, oh yes!, and Koolaid of every flavor.
