on Dick Cheney
Oh, how I dislike Dick Cheney. It is a very profound dislike. It is unwaivering, unchangable and burning inside of me like Frangelico, champagne and lemon schnapps: consumed in succession one night in Provincetown.
Is it paranoia? That seems to fit. But I want to understand: What are his REAL motives for what he does? Don't tell me it is patriotism. Don't even say its about power. Saying that its about money is too simplistic.
The man has an agenda. Scooter will go to jail to defend that agenda and his boss. But the worst it could come to is three years. Forget the talk of Scooter in jail for 30 years. Bush will pardon him on the way out. There is nothing whatsoever to lose.

Cheney is a product of public sanctions. He's worked for the government all his life - got frustrated with it's ineptitude and decided to sell it off to private interests as his way to "optimize" government service. This explains his transfer to Halliburton. Halliburton cannot exist without the government contracts - it's a parasite company.
Had he worked in the "private sector" he might have learned the rigors of "real" project management and had thought twice about building democracies in far away places who don't understand what it is.
Cheney and his insiders look somewhat delusional now that the mess in Iraq seems to be without and end. It's failed project management, and failed risk management - something he would have learned if he had built something with his own initiatives. He's a bureaucrat at heart.
By the way, thank you for your humorous remarks and very pleased to hear from you. Hope your doing well - am always looking for photo's from the early 1980's to publish. There's more to come
