Which of the below might be true?
- Dick Cheney is a pathological liar
- Dick Cheney thinks the American people idolize him to the points where they will accept his word--particularly if he sounds authoritarian enough--on Iraq or anyother subject
- Dick Cheney thinks the American people are so scared of another terrorist attack (or their own shadow) that they will believe just about any assertion about an Iraq-Al Quieda connection, the war in Iraq, the war of terror or the coalition
- Dick Cheney does not have a very good memory (never met John Edwards before!)
- Dick Cheney does not believe journalists will research his statements for accuracy
- Dick Cheney lives in a fantasy world where his beliefs and assertions--regardless of the presence of facts to the contrary--govern his public statements
If any of the above are accurate, the American people should be extremely concerned that Cheney works in our government, represents our country and brokers decisions that impact our everyday lives (i.e., energy commission meetings in 2001). Beyond mystification that sounding resolute, strong and authoritarian substitutes for accuracy, fairness, honesty and integrity.
