FYI: Cheney shorted the dollar for the entire duration of his Vice Presidency.

He moved his investments into foreign exchange instruments and foreign currency fairly early into he & Butch's crime spree, er...Administration.


Dollar goes down, Cheney's profits go up.




Not to mentiont that he & Butch were OIL BARONS, with their family fortunes invested in the WAR MACHINE AND its spoils (oil&gas).


It's called SELF DEALING, people. It used to be unethical. Illegal, even.

1. The bush/cheney administration
took so many liberties with the law and the constitution, it shocks me that no one has prosecuted them. The should be in the hague, frankly....along with being indicted at home.

4. The Hague can't indict them UNTIL the world court is sure that their country
of origin is not going to try them.


The Hague is waiting for Holder.

The Hague shoudl not hold its breath.

6. I'm afraid of the precedent it sets
Since they are getting away with so many crimes, what are future presidential administrations going to try
to get away with. I think we're setting country up for even more corruption on a level we can't imagine.

3. The American people were so grateful for being kept safe from terra,
they gladly overlooked the malfeasance, wars of aggression, war profiteering, death and destruction, and sacrifice of most of their liberty and other constitutional protections for just a modicum of perceived safety. The fact that our economy, millions of jobs, and standard of living were also scarified was such a small price to pay for joys of having the RW realize its PNAC wet dream. :patriot:

5. Republicon Family Cesspool Values. As usual.
From Cheney -- the lying Republicon war-monger with Five Military Deferments.

Disgustipating.
