7. Yes, and his lack of communication with the public, leaving it
Edited on Mon Feb-13-06 10:37 PM by Catrina
to others to cover for him, shows either cowardice, or a severe character flaw, especially considering his position, and demonstrates his arrogance and his disdain for the American people who pay his salary, however reluctantly.

I tried to imagine what a man of character might do in the same situation. He himself, owes the American people a statement. Maybe one of regret for having caused his friend pain, to show that he has some human emotion ~

But Cheney seems to lack the qualities that make a person 'decent'. The first time I ever saw him, he gave me the chills. It was an interview he did with a reporter during the first Gulf War.

She asked him 'does it ever bother you at all that innocent people will die in this war' ~ I remember I expected to hear something, even if it was a pretense, like 'well, of course, but we do our best to minimize civilian deaths'. Instead, his mouth curled into a twist and he simply said 'No, it doesn't'. Nothing else, just that. The reporter looked stunned for a minute, and I felt fear that this person was in a positin of power.

I had a feeling I can describe as 'ominous' when I realized he was going to be Bush's VP. Instincts are very valuable. I should trust them. He has not disappointed me ~ sadly for all those whose lives he has caused to be lost.

Imo, he is a sociopath ~ and he should step down, or be forced to step down. He is a truly dangerous man, I think.

His silence, and Bush's on this accident, has gone unremarked in the MSM. I think it is very strange that neither of them has said a word, publicly, about it ~ what arrogant cowards they are.
