What Else Did He Lie About? The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd writes today: In a documentary soon to appear on Showtime, “The World According to Dick Cheney,” [Cheney said] “I got on the telephone with the president, who was in Florida, and told him not to be at one location where we could both be taken out.” Mr. Cheney kept W. flying aimlessly in the air on 9/11 while he and Lynn left on a helicopter for a secure undisclosed location, leaving Washington in a bleak, scared silence, with no one reassuring the nation in those first terrifying hours. “I gave the instructions that we’d authorize our pilots to take it out,” he says, referring to the jet headed to Washington that crashed in a Pennsylvania field. He adds: “After I’d given the order, it was pretty quiet. Everybody had heard it, and it was obviously a significant moment.” *** When they testified together before the 9/11 Commission, W. and Mr. Cheney kept up a pretense that in a previous call, the president had authorized the vice president to give a shoot-down order if needed. But the commission found “no documentary evidence for this call.” In other words, Cheney pretended that Bush had authorized a shoot-down order, but Cheney now admits that he never did. In fact, Cheney acted as if he was the president on 9/11. * Cheney lied about numerous other facts related to 9/11 as well. For example, Cheney:

neither bunnypants nor ashcroft have sense enough to pour piss out of a boot, let alone be in on the 9/11 caper, so they were kept int he dark, and out of town until cheney and chertoff got the situation under control. lord knows what ashcroft would have done with the dancing israelis' video tape. . by the way, where is that tape?

cheney seems to have been a latecomer to the party... he was alking about peak oil as late as november 1999, when he was still CEO of halliburton... he would have had very good information about peak oil, but if he'd been clued in to the neocons' 9/11 plans, he most likely wouldnt have made that speeech... that is, in view of the umpleasant implications of the neocons' need for a new pearl harbor, 9/11, and peak oil. i still think cheney might have been part of a neocon fallback position... he signed the neocons' PNAC "statement of principles" in 1997, so he was already halfway aboard when he made the sppeech in london about peak oil in 1999... but maybe he was scheduled to be the fall guy... he's right out of central casting if you were looking for someone to throw off the sled if the wolves were getting too close for comfort... maybe, in the best of all possible worlds, the saudis would have been busted for 9/11... maybe cheney and bunnypants would have been framed along with the saudi "hijackers", and joe lieberman would be president... ...but maybe cheney had a bunch of dirt stashed away someplace, enough to have some immunity. . ...but it's always possible that the dumb fucking neocons simply outsmarted themselves again... this is their last chance for "benevolent global hegemony" before the oil runs out, but they're probably satisfied with the loot.
