Follow-up to my previous post:
Cheney's future is Washington's current topic

WASHINGTON Vice President Dick Cheney, a man who has cultivated an unblinking image of stern secretiveness and unshakeable discretion, is expected to become far more visible as a campaigner in this presidential election year. Assuming, that is, that he remains on the presidential ticket. "The campaign season is under way," Cheney said recently, "and President Bush and I will be proud to present our vision to voters in every part of this great land."
The White House has said that American voters will see more of the low-profile Cheney this year, and not less.
But while it would fly in the face of history, and what is known of President George W. Bush, to drop a vice president after one term, Cheney has found himself mired in controversy on a variety of fronts. That has made speculation about his political future a suddenly hot topic in this speculation-loving city.

Should pressure grow for Cheney to step aside, analysts note, the health issue could provide useful cover for a graceful withdrawal.

What the author fails to recognize is that Cheney's withdrawal itself may provide a "useful cover" for the furtive euthanizing of the Bush presidency.... Bottom line: the Zionist lobby used the Judeocon stick to wage war on Iraq and then the Democratic carrot to... get away with it!
Brilliant, isn't it?
