Newsweek: 9/11 Comission believes Cheney lied to it

Cheney Was Really In Charge

Cheney said that Bush gave an order to shoot down hijacked airplanes. Evidence contradicts that, Cheney gave the order alone. Angry White House forces watered-down report. Angry staffers leak the real story.

el - Look, Cheney is in charge of this country and every insider's report that has come out reconfirms this. Bush rubberstamps Cheney's decisions. The VP picked the cabinet, fired a cabinet level officer (didn't even go through the President), made the decision to go after Iraq, made the final decision to go to war, told the president where to go on 9/11, pushed the wealthy tax-cuts, and decided how post-war Iraq would be governed and who would get the contracts.
