Bush's Hair Is On Fire, Cheney's Already Burned Off (or, the vice president is a dick)
On page 202 of Plan Of Attack Bob Woodward says:
"The draft said that 'On Saddam Hussein's orders, opponents have been decapitated.' The CIA said the evidence was that the opponents had been executed, not decapitated. But decapitated stayed in the final speech."
This is smoking gun evidence that the Bush administration deliberately misled us in their efforts to lead us into war. But it's only one of the many lies that are documented in that book. George Bush is a proven liar, and he continues to lie, all the time pointing fingers at his critics and calling them liars. The book, which Woodward wrote with the help of unprecedented access to the Bush League, clearly demonstrates the war fever that gripped the administration since January 20th of 2001, the day GW was innaugurated.
An open minded reading of the words and events that dragged us into their unholy war reveals that Dick Cheney was the driving force in the march to war. He's also a big fat liar. On page 164 Woodward quotes Dick as saying: "Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction ...that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies and against us." Clearly a lie, that statement shows that the administration's policy was to instill fear as part of the plan to suspend rationality. Fearful people don't behave rationally, that's how Bush was reelected.
An interesting insight that Woodward recounts comes from the man who once upon a time was the only honest man in the Bush League, Colin Powell. He who will forever regret letting them make a liar out of him said that he "detected a kind of fever in Cheney. He was not the steady, unemotional rock that he had witnessed a dozen years earlier during the runup to the Gulf War. The vice president was beyond hell-bent for action against Saddam. It was as if nothing else existed."
Clearly, the vice president is irresponsible and reprehensible in his strained relationship with the truth. It makes one wonder, does he know when he's lying?
