What you need to see here, is a man, Dick Cheney, so persuaded of his own path, which was formed by greed, by lobbying, by the military industrial complex, by the gigantic wealth behind the Republican hegemony, that he can distort facts to suit his purpose. People who died in 9/11 would not have died if he and Bush had not been carving up Iraqs oil fields and paid attention to the experts--installed right in the White House--whom President Clinton had asked to give him a daily briefing every day since 1993. No one could have known Condaleeza Rice said. But not only was she wrong...she lied. it is a favorite technique of Republicans to start out with a premise (in this case, We didnt know.) that is the exact opposite of the truth. They did know. Richard Clarke had been running around, according to Bushs own people with his hair on fire because of warnings that something was going to happen with U.S. commercial aircraft. That was in the 9/11 report. As was the warning delivered, hand delivered, by intelligence officials to Bush in August 2001, plenty of time to have done something. But he didnt. He famously went out and played golf...and ridiculed the people sent down to Texas to warn him. Cheney is dangerous because he is like Goering. He believes that what he is doing matters and what happens to others because of it--like the 250,000 dead Iraqi citizens and the 5 million displaced Iraqis, the 4,500 dead American soldiers and the 30,000 wounded, from the unnecessary and harmful Iraq War, that kept us finding and killing Osama Bin Laden for ten years--all that means nothing. It is merely to protect Americans. Bull Shit. Dick Cheney is a Fascist. He believes that the average American citizen is a fool and a laggard. He believes that only those who reach out and take what they want...Enron, Halliburton, the Koch Brothers...at the expense of others, should rule. He believes the winners...the CEO society, the 1%, and the senior staff of the military....the same thing that all Fascists believe...should run society and whatever happens to the rest of us, if we depart from the rules, should look something like waterboarding. You see, its not torture if you run the country and you say it is not torture. https://youtube/watch?v=uAAXJMcQGRU
