Was there ever any doubt, about all the Bush Administration ?

Thats unusual a politician lying

The point to note here is the system failing. Somebody comes along and implies to be authorized to give the order that he actually gives - but is not formally authorized at all. He gets away with it because the implication is not verified and counter-checked.

Of course, Cheney is a lying cheating manipulating bastard, and always was, but the system failure is the far more important thing to take from this news.

Bush should have cut his wings after this and show him his place. I'm sure he didn't, though. When has a hand puppet ever bitten the hand of the puppet masters?

I miss Bush, slamming and slapping Obama is all nice and well, but it just does not feel like kicking Bush around.

If you read the article it claims there is no proof of his having talked to the president, not that he didn't talk to the president. Typical Liberal propaganda only a sucker would believe.

Well, all's well then, Cheney is off the hook since it's just Liberal Propaganda.
Phew.
He should sue for character defamation.

Exactly.

And the original article, is "slightly" anti-Cheney to begin with.

sort of my feeling too. I dont see the so-called smoking gun the "article" implies. The entire tone of that blog does not strike me as very objective either.

When they testified together before the 9/11 Commission, W. and Mr. Cheney kept up a pretense that in a previous call, the president had authorized the vice president to give a shoot-down order if needed. But the commission found “no documentary evidence for this call.”

so, President Bush, under oath, testifies that he had verbally authorized his vice-president to give the shoot-down order, but that is not good enough? give me a break.
