Part of Cheney’s psychology, I think, is that he’s too important to follow the ordinary rules. He was too important to go to Vietnam, too important to honor his Yale scholarship by graduating, too important to scruple over sending the nation to war based on lies made from whole cloth, too important in fact to be questioned by anybody.

Ambitious people too important to get shot at in Vietnam are found in both parties. Bill Clinton and his cronies sat it out in Oxford, all the while spinning confident plans to become the next generation of U.S. political leaders. Indeed, Bill Clinton, too, held a (Rhodes) scholarship but didn’t bother to get the degree.

I can’t believe he is still alive and walking around this earth, with all he has done to rape this country! I have never wished ill on anyone…but I do wish it for him and his best friend Bush, may what ever balls they have left between them be run over by a truck..

The cynical manner in which he avoided military service really made my skin crawl…

with the heavy heart, all i can say is, if america is a free country with a rule of law and pricipals of democracy and a consitution which provide the guarantees of it, people like dick cheney (aka big oil dick) and george bush shud be tried for treason and crimes against humanity.

Some or should I say most of you Americans are still in some hypnotised state of denial that your politicians would’nt fake things to achieve ojectives such as persian gulf oil. I cannot believe you are all so stupid, so I will have to assume you are more than aware of the truth, and you defend it for your country’s honour, not that of lying politicians. However, your own country increasingly control you and your freedoms, so I would’nt be so quick to side with those wishing to dismantle your constitution.

“The Soviet Union would not just be handing over un-doctored photographs taken by spy satellites to the United Sates.”

Not true. I personally knew a college Geology professor who obtained through the Russian embassy aerial photos of a part of the USA that the U.S. gov’t had not yet photographed. He had done this in the 1960s when it was still certainly the USSR.

I think the pics were supposed to show troops along the Saudi border
not Kuwait in which the pics are clearly visible

Good point you made about the US silently endorsing Saddams invasion and the Soviets sat pics though ill have too check into this a little :)

A so-so documentary. While I am no fan of Cheney or GW, the part of the documentary where it discusses the Russian satellite photos of the border between Iraq and Kuwait is total bullshit. First off, in 1990 Russia was known as the Soviet Union, and the United States and the Soviet Union were still essentially cold war adversaries. The Soviet Union would not just be handing over un-doctored photographs taken by spy satellites to the United Sates. Doing so would reveal great insight into the technological capabilities of soviet spy satellites in orbit. Also, if there were not actually Iraqi forces on the border waiting to invade Kuwait, then where did the 30,000 iraqi troops who DID INVADE Kuwait come from? Were they invisible? It’s common knowledge that when Saddam met with a US embassador a few days before Iraq invaded Kuwait we told him that the USA has “No opinion on Arab-Arab conflicts” which in political terms essentially means “go ahead, as long as it does not interrupt our oil supply you can kill each other for as long as you want”. Why would Saddam NOT invade Kuwait? I do not understand why a film about a person such as Cheney has to lie to it’s viewers to try and prove a point.

Anyone read the article about Cheney’s remark about Egypt’s x-president Hosni Mubarak? Cheney thinks “He’s been a good man, a good friend and ally to the United States,” Cheney said. “We need to remember that.”

America has a horrible track record of befriending oppressive dictators and arming it’s future enemies.

The Constitution says that war profiteers are to be put to death. There it is.
