Cheney says that if they had the authority they already had they could've stopped 9/11, despite doing nothing to do so, and that therefore they need to illegally spy on Americans even though they can legally do so.






Hi there--just passing through. I enjoyed your blog a lot!

not ignoring all of the warnings would have helped, too.

It's amazing that I haven't heard any calls for impeachment of Bush. The republicans went after Clinton for much less. Let's cross our collective fingers.

I was like mighty republican girl for a long time. but i gotta tell you renee, et al, bush is probably doing this country a Huuge favor.
there's no way there WON'T be a democrat in '08. just on principle, i would say he's lost the election for whatever contender GOP runs. Unless, by some miracle, Powell comes to his senses!
My worry is that I think Bush would have us in Iran in a second if he didn't think he'd be run out of the white house on rails. am i alone on that one? krauthammer had a pretty good column last sunday on it.

Funny, I was so certain that there would be a democrat in the white house in '04, but look how that turned out.
Can you imagine how much greater the chances of getting a democrat into the white house would be if Cheyney was running things for a little while?

That's interesting. I've heard it said that a great detriment to this administration has been Cheney's lame duck status. If he was at all concerned with a future administration of his own, he would be prompting Bush toward more sensible action.
