I easily have extra of an opinion on Bush than Cheney. no person can heavily have faith that Bush advised Cheney what to do. To me it grew to become into obvious that Bush bought out to Cheney and allow the conservative good run the teach. It grew to become into Cheney in the back of the curtain on each and everything. They even bullied the Brits into starting to be a member of the conflict in Iraq/Afganistan. Cheney spent the extra advantageous area of his term on the CIA finding for info to help the conflict. No different (Vice) President has ever accomplished that. to declare no longer something appropriate to the financial crises we've lengthy undergone which I additionally characteristic to Cheney extra advantageous than the different one individual. Cheney/Bush might have accomplished some issues to get us off the dependence on remote places oil. we've extra organic gasoline interior the U. S. to final the subsequent 200 years. And we nevertheless force autos applying gasoline. If nevertheless in means we'd be offshore drilling interior the Atlantic/Alaska just to maintain the middle of means in oil. The checklist is going on...

That should convince the 30 remaining people that think Dubyah is a great President.

Answer 7

I don't know what McClellan is talking about. The original source of the leak is Richard Armitage, and he has already admitted so.

Sounds like McClellan is trying to create some sort of sensationalism to sell his book.

See the New York Times article below where Armitage basically confesses and tells how it all happened.

Answer 8

Apparently not all of the people have been brain washed, including those close to the people running "our" government. I think he should be commended for coming out with what is going on.
