Cheney to Bandar "Who do they think they are? I was reelected, too."

[RamboLiberal]

What at pissy, pouty, spoiled bunch of brats we have running this country! If these are the grownups let's bring back the kids! More from the Woodward book. And I wish Armitage had reached across and smacked Feith.

The bad blood between Powell and Rumsfeld spilled over to their underlings. At one point, former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage "barked" at Rumsfeld's man, ex-Pentagon policy chief Douglas Feith.

"It was almost as if Armitage wanted to reach across the table and snap Feith's neck like a twig," Woodward wrote. "Armitage's knuckles even turned white."

Powell and Armitage were convinced the White House viewed the State Department as "appeasers," Woodward wrote.

"Their idea of diplomacy," Armitage said, is to say, "Look, f----r, you do what we want."

Vice President Cheney also disdained diplomacy. But when he found himself on the outs after Bush was reelected in 2004, he complained to Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan, "Who do they think they are? I was reelected, too."
