The main reason to stonewall/hide/deny seems to be Bush is INVOLVED

[opihimoimoi]

If he has to go to court and has to testify...is Cheney gonna hold his hand like the last time...

Will the Dufus have a meltdown?

Will Cheney and Bush have a food fight?

1. First rule of Bushclub - ALL others must cover grenades earned by Bush.

Absolutely true. He required it of anyone who worked for his father and then him.

2. It'll be more like the 3 Stooges

Cheney as Curley, Rice as Moe, and * as Larry. Lots of eye pokes and skull bops with exaggerated impact sounds.

A Stooges chant comes to mind:

We are morons, proud and true
We will do our call for you
Nyah, nyah…

[opihimoimoi]

5. The 3 Stooges were innocent fun...these animals are predators

who lie cheat steal since 2000 and before

They have a history of Arrogance and Greed, Lust etc

3. It's not neccessarily that Bush is involved.

It could be that Bush would lose all credibility as a puppet if Cheney or Rove were to fall. Let alone both.

[opihimoimoi]

4. If Bush wanted to do America Right...he would prod the investigation

not impede it with stonewalling...

The implication is:::He is involved and therefore must protect the the secret from exposure...

6. Bush & Cheney are directly involved- it's a no-brainer.

THey are "the bosses"- Rove & Libby don't act without the Commander in Chief's full approval.
