the Most Appropriately Named American Politician Ever
Dick Cheney, the heartless CEO turned executive manager of the Bush White House, has sunk to new lows, even for him. His statements of May 31st regarding the alleged "last throes of the Iraq Insurgency" have proven beyond measure that his primary concern in this conflict is disinformation. This Dick carefully conceals his ultimate purpose--to fuck us all when we are not looking.
Despite the fact that the corporation he used to run has been cited for more overcharges in billing submitted to the US Army (March 2005, a figure of $108 million), Cheney still insists that there has never been a conflict of interests between the position he currently holds and the one he used to occupy. Added to the $61 million in overcharges that were caught and revealed in 2003, this now makes for $169 million in false charges that have been submitted to the Army that bravely and foolishly sacrifices more of itself every day. As if these tallies were not disgraceful enough in themselves, Dick is now functioning as the official Goebbels of the administration--painting sunny pictures that do not correspond to the reality of the situation on the ground.
Since Dick has declared the insurgency to be losing momentum on May 31st, 2005, 85 US servicemen and women have died. That is more than two lost lives per day. Only in the world of the propagandist does such a measure imply success. It's easy to imagine Cheney, dressed in a Goebbels-style black suit, white shirt, and black tie, sneeringly describing the battle for Stalingrad as a mere skirmish that nears its conclusion with every passing day--assailing unbelievers with assaultive and pejorative language that calls into question their upbringing and political affiliations.
As a former senator from the why-bother-with-it state of Wyoming, Dick Cheney has sought and attained unprecedented amounts of power for the office of the Vice President. Rather than using this power to restrain the chicken hawks in the policy-making wing of the administration, Dick has allowed himself to be swept up in their geopolitical insanity, if not directing these operations outright. He was once the person who allegedly provided "statesman-like" experience to this dangerously simple-minded administration; now he appears to be the biggest cheerleader for their illusory plans of conquest in the Middle East. With each passing day he looks more and more like the linchpin of the Iraq criminal conspiracy.
As I've said before, the entire inner circle of Bush and his closest advisers need to be placed under arrest for creating and spreading the lies that served as a springboard to the Iraqi misadventure. Perhaps then US rhetoric about "freedom" might actually have some corresponding reality. Dick is the biggest threat to world peace on this planet, and descriptions of him as the "most dangerous man in the world" are entirely accurate. He has single-mindedly pursued destabilization of the world's biggest oil producing region, which in itself would not be so bad if not for Dick's relentless positioning of Halliburton and its subsidiary companies as those responsible for the rebuilding of Iraqi infrastructure.
Dick is a unique individual in the field of modern politics. It's rare that a war criminal can simultaneously be a financial criminal. A singular achievement by a big fucking Dick.
