Dick Cheney is as big a loser as George W Bush

An excellent insight into our vice president!

DICK CHENEY: AMERICA'S MOST DANGEROUS AND SHAMELESS UNINDICTED CRIMINAL
Tell A Friend / ROLLING STONE revealed the unvarnished truth ~ Dick Cheney is as big a loser as George W Bush. It's the blind leading the blind ~ no wonder we are in such deep trouble / by Allen L Roland, Ph.D / http://tinyurl.com/bdhzs

"As vice president, Cheney has been the decisive force pushing America into war. In the inner councils of the administration, it was he who emasculated Colin Powell, cut the State Department out of effective policymaking, foisted fake reports on the intelligence agencies and supplanted the National Security Council. It was also Cheney who placed appointees personally loyal to him, including Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, in charge of the Pentagon and speckled the warmaking bureaucracy with desk officers culled from neoconservative Washington think tanks -- ideologues with no military experience:" T.D. Allman / Rolling Stone

Watching Dick Cheney's latest oblivious blunder ( By the way, the first person he called, after the shooting, was Karl Rove ~ " Karl, this is Dick ~ how do we spin ourselves out of this mess ? " ) as well as his shameless, deceitful and vindictive speeches remind me of an insightful article by Rolling Stone which I featured in September of 2004 entitled THE CURSE OF DICK CHENEY.

ROLLING STONE revealed the unvarnished truth ~ Dick Cheney is as big a loser as George W Bush . It's the blind leading the blind ~ no wonder we are in such deep trouble.

T.D Allman brilliantly reveals in detail how Cheneys career has been marred by one disaster after another . This is a long but compelling insight into, perhaps, the most dangerous and shameless man in our government today. A must read!

Excerpt: " The period between August 1974 and November 1976, when Ford lost the election to Jimmy Carter, is essential to understanding George W. Bush's disastrous misjudgments -- and Dick Cheney's role in them. In both cases, Cheney and Rumsfeld played the key role in turning opportunity into chaos. Ford, like Bush later, hadn't been elected president. As he entered office, he was overshadowed by a secretary of state (Kissinger then, Powell later) who was considered incontestably his better. Ford was caught as flat-footed by the fall of Saigon in April 1975 as Bush was by the September 2001 attacks. A better president, with more astute advisers, might have arranged a more orderly ending to the long and divisive war. But instead of heeding the country's desire for honesty and reconciliation, Rumsfeld and Cheney convinced Ford that the way to turn himself into a real president was to stir up crises in international relations while lurching to the right in domestic politics.
