McVeep doesn’t want to be ‘tarred’ with the chimperor's war

A major turn from money bags Cheney... He thows his pal the chimpster under the bus..Cheney is in love...with the money and reputation..


And in an unexpected turn of events, according to U.S. News, Cheney has decided it’s now best to distance himself from the war he helped instigate.
Washington insiders are buzzing over the fact that the vice president has been publicly silent and mostly out of sight since the Iraq Study Group issued its long-awaited report last week. White House insiders say Cheney is playing an inside game, advising President Bush privately not to change course too much in Iraq, not to withdraw U.S. troops anytime soon, and not to talk directly with the hard-line regimes in Iran and Syria about the situation. […]

“I think we’ll see less of him than ever,” says the associate. “Iraq is now Bush’s baby, and Cheney doesn’t want to be tarred with it in the eyes of historians.”

Granted, U.S. News quoted a “former associate who worked closely with Cheney for years,” not someone who currently works in the VP’s office. But if the comment accurately reflects Cheney’s thinking, and the VP actually wants to distance himself from Bush’s policy, it might be the most ridiculous development to date.

It’s almost as if Cheney has been pouring gasoline everywhere, handed Bush a box of matches, and encouraged him to play around. Then, once the fire grew out of control, Cheney wants to slink away before he’s spotted with the empty gas can.
