I don't understand why you would kick them when history has essentially proven that they made a wise decision ending Desert Storm when they did. They knew enough to quit while they were ahead and it's only because of the zealots who prevailed in junior's administration that we suffered those costs.

The article mentions Cheney's ghost writer. Neither he nor Bush are really literate.

Suggestion: If you don't like what Cheney has to say, don't listen to him.
No, let the fool keep raging, he will be the cue de grua for the republican party, at least the knuckle dragging war mongering hate branch of the party.

This is going to be fun, get a cooler of beer and the lawn chairs and watch.

Please learn how to spell phrases like coup de grâce, or spell-check them. I prefer for the Republicans to look like fifth-grade dropouts, not us.

P.S. There is no other branch of the party anymore. They've purged everyone to the left of Limbaugh and Hannity.

I just recently realized Cheney had crawled out of his bunker; I never saw/heard the man for the last few years that he was in office. Oh wait; I remember somebody apologizing to Cheney because their face got in the way of Cheney's buckshot......what a guy....LOL.

Cheney's been known to drive under the influence, the only difference between the two is luck.

G W Bush graduated from Yale and got his MBA from Harvard Business School. You?
