I don't know what else anyone could have expected from Chaney's book. One thing is certain--I would not want to go bird hunting with him.

Cheney just finished "Face The Nation" and sticks to his guns. He was quizzed over Colen Powell and Condilessa Wright with total "I said it right and accurate."

I never thought he told the absolute truth as VP and I remain steadfast to that conclusion, Mr. Cheney.

You profited on the Iraq War / you and your corp got rediculous tax treatments that let you off the financial support of the USA / enjoy your rich final days of distortions!!!!!

There was a lot of speculation that Cheney was the "brains" behind W's administration, and used the Bush name to control the presidency to which he could never have been elected. Part of the reason behind it was that Cheney was one of the family friends that kept bailing W out of bankruptcy and the whole plan for W to run, and Cheney to dictate policy was part of the deal. That's certainly credible, whether it is speculation or not, and we'll never really know.

One thing we do know is that Cheney left Washington far wealthier than he entered it. Bush did too. The average net wealth of the American people declined 4% during Bush's term in office, and net job growth was 0%, but a number of their close friends and business associates saw their personal wealth expand at a record pace. Regardless of who was in charge, the Bush administration, which includes Cheney, was the worst presidential administration ever to serve in office, and Bush was the worst president to ever serve, in terms of effectiveness. If Cheney was behind it, then that explains a lot.

Sandy---

That is a mouth full of observations from someone who leans conservative---and most accurate!!!

I think we have been taken down by many notches over greed and a corporate outlook giving no heed to the need for jobs to stay in America.

0% job growth is the key element in our current unemployment picture. A totally heartless approach to profit and wealth. An excessive expenditure on military matters and wanting to conquer the countries with oil.

Anyone wanting some real insights into Bush should read John Dean's "Worse Than Watergate." The title bespeaks the deception involved in all things "W."
