Think Progress » Cheney Lies To High Schoolers About Debunked Iraq/al Qaeda Connection This really does just show the kind of respect the White House has for the youth of America. Oh, unless they are in uniform. Of course, if MY country lied to my face, not 10 feet away from me, I might think twice about signing up to fight a war based on little more than "So, I heard this rumor..." That said...I can't really blame Cheney much for lying. BushCo has no credibility left, and only a sliver of power, so why not just make stuff up? Its sort of like giving two-weeks notice at a job you don't care about. You can really just do whatever you like then. More than once, I have had the great joy of saying:"What are they gonna do? Fire me?" Honestly, I think that's what may be happening here. Bush knows that the war isn't getting resolved on his watch. So why bother dealing with it at all? Just talk and talk and in a few months it'll be the next guy's (or gal's) problem.
