"That was all Cheney." says Colin Powell - now


"That was all Cheney."

That's what Colin Poweell told Robert Scheer last week when Scheer asked him why the president ignored "the October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate [which] showed that his State Department had gotten it right on the nonexistent Iraq nuclear threat."
Scheer goes on to say:

"A convenient response for a Bush family loyalist, perhaps, but it begs the question of how the president came to be a captive of his vice president's fantasies."

There is much we need yet to learn about the dark recesses of the Bush regime and the manipulation of information to "justify" the invasion of Iraq; but the role of Cheney and the neocon game is becoming more and more clear. - Dan
