"where was it Cheney came from again?"

Government! He has had years of experience, so much so that corporations noticed his skill and wanted him, Halliburton won the bidding process.

"tell me he ain't going to have the cushiest highest-paying board seat in all the land when he's done as VP."

He will be able to choose from several. Do you want to discuss Clinton's buddy Hamilton Jordan? He certainly earned a lot of plum board seats without Dick Cheney's record of success. He was the guy who landed Clinton's "that girl" a job after Hillary got her fired from the federal government.

"it's important the Iraqi people be free."

I believe all people yearn to be free. It is sad to see any peoples being put down by their government, neighbors or anyone else. We had the opportunity to remove two of the most dangerous tyrannical regimes in the world and that caused the capitulation of a third. What will you do in fifty years when the US economy no longer has the strength to be the world's police force? Do you think that China will be as egalitarian? I don't for a New York Minute.
