The Redirection by Seymour Hersh
The key players behind the redirection are Vice-President Dick Cheney, the deputy national-security adviser Elliott Abrams, the departing Ambassador to Iraq (and nominee for United Nations Ambassador), Zalmay Khalilzad, and Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the Saudi national-security adviser. While Rice has been deeply involved in shaping the public policy, former and current officials said that the clandestine side has been guided by Cheney. (Cheney’s office and the White House declined to comment for this story; the Pentagon did not respond to specific queries but said, “The United States is not planning to go to war with Iran.”)
I just saw cheney and lynn at WH greeting the Queen so I know where he is today. But, I thought I heard last week that last Friday Cheney was going to Egypt and other ME nations??? Did anyone else hear this? At the time I wondered why HE was going and not condi.
