    Not even that… W. had been planning to attack Iraq on day 1 because of the failed assassination plot against his dad.

      That was Bush’s motivation. Cheney recruited him to be President while Cheney was head of Halliburton.

      Halliburton made a metric shit ton off all this shit.

      Cheney was WAAAYYY more involved in policy - especially geopolitics - than previous VPs.

      Once W realized that Cheney was a lying sack of shit, he was banished from policy, but that wasn’t until almost the end of the second term.
