    Zero Financial Incentive

    The guy with $50M in his personal fortune and a family net worth of over $400M?

    Shut the fuck up.

        Especially the financial incentives. Cheney was the former owner of one of the biggest contractors for the war, and they were all tied to the oil industry.

        Anyone remember what the wars did to oil prices?

          The funny part was the massive gas tax that doubled my gas budget, which was later repealed, but gas prices were unaltered by the repeal. And I think that’s happened like 3 times in my life. I still remember thinking a dollar was expensive for gas.

      Bush was the “cleanest” Republican since Nixon only because he was such a Cheney puppet that Dick Cheney’s wedding ring is still lost up his ass somewhere. Cheney was president during that timeframe.
