and shows what a dumbass this guy is...
FYI and the colonel's, the foreign policy of the United States is not made by the military or the bureaucrats. They are there to implement the policy of our elected leaders, in this case the president and vice-president. Simply because you do not agree with that policy, you would have, in effect, a coup d'etat against our elected leaders. So, to put your policies into effect you are prepared to overthrow our government. That's treason. That's what Wilson and his wife did. They concocted a scheme to discredit and undermine our elected leaders. They did this under cover of a stupid law which protects cabals within our military and intelligence agencies. In protecting them you are playing with fire. They are far more likely to turn on you eventually. When a Pinochet arises in this country and kills all of you, you will have only yourselves to blame. You made it possible. You empowered him. You would burn down the Republic in order to 'save' it from the man you hate and turn it over to a true tyrant. That is why many people believe liberalism is a mental disorder. You're all nuts!

Cheney cabal hijacked US foreign policy’

Vice-President Dick Cheney and a handful of others had hijacked the government's foreign policy apparatus, deciding in secret to carry out policies that had left the US weaker and more isolated in the world, the top aide to former Secretary of State Colin Powell claimed on Wednesday.
In a scathing attack on the record of President George W. Bush, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to Mr Powell until last January, said: “What I saw was a cabal between the vice-president of the United States, Richard Cheney, and the secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, on critical issues that made decisions that the bureaucracy did not know were being made.
