The only difference between Bush and Cheney is simply in how they present themselves in public. Bush puts on a "gee shucks" act, Cheney the "I don't give a shit, fuck you" act. They both, however, think alike, and both are equally guilty.

This is going to be the revisionism that we are going to see in the years to come, as 2001-2008 starts to become simply a memory. The right-wingers are gonna push this line on all of us. "Well gosh, Bush may have made some mistakes but he's a good guy and he meant well." It's bullshit. Bush knew exactly what he was doing. He knew exactly what the consequences of what he did were.

In the first NSC meeting, in 2001, BUSH said "Go find me a way to do this" -- meaning invade Iraq. We hear now that Bush personally ordered at least some of the torture that happened. He ordered the illegal spying on American citizens, and then bragged about it on national TV. He is responsible for the catastrophe that was the response to Katrina. He refused to do anything in August 2001 (and before) about the terrorist threats that were considered important enough to be put into his daily briefing...which led to 3,000 people dying on 9.11.

Bush is not a nice man. He is a mean, vindictive, spiteful little shit who deserves nothing but contempt from us, from this country and the world.

Bush *and* Cheney need to be held accountable. Bush, though, is more responsible. He was in charge. It was his job, his responsibility. The buck stopped with him, period.
