Even so, he cannot resist another swipe at his nemesis for annotating his article and keeping it on his desk. “He (Cheney) was so focused on my article instead of focusing on how to avoid conflict with Iraq.”

1. He didn't want to focus on how to avoid war

He was drooling over war with Iraq. He was focused on Wilson's article because it removed one of the reasons for the illegal invasion. Of course he was fixated on Wilson's article, he wanted to discredit it.
