What is technically true is not necessarily reality. George Jr only has the abilities to be a front man. Even Lee Iacocca (once a supporter of George Jr and now one of his strongest critics - I believe Lee used the word incompetent) believes Cheney makes the decisions.
While Cheney was in the Middle East trying to figure out what to do as the surge was not working, where was George Jr? Selectively visiting Latin American nations - to show face in hope to patch up strained relations. One makes decisions. The other is a figure head.
George Jr is not smart enough to make decisions. He did not even know the nations that border Israel. Those who use reality - not a political agenda - could see who really was president.
Brown shirts will believe anything they are told - including that George Jr is smart and makes decisions. Even Colin Powell made it obvious who makes the decisions. Even Sec of Treasury Paul O'Neill demonstrated George Jr's did not even read his memos. Cabinet meeting were really stage shows - decisions had already been made elsewhere.
When General Garner started to tell George Jr how bad things were becoming in Iraq, Garner suddenly realized that George Jr had been told nothing by Rumsfeld and Cheney. So he stopped. No sense telling a figurehead who has no idea what was happening what is happening. With Rumsfeld sitting right there, Garner and Rumsfeld then immediately knew what the other knew. Rumsfeld had been lying to Garner all along. George Jr had no idea what was happening in Iraq. Rumsfeld was working for Pres Cheney.
David Kay left a meeting with George Jr shocked at Bush's lack of inquisitiveness. Cheney and Libby later asked probing and challenging questions when not in the room with George Jr including possible Syrian connections, WMDs in the Bekka Valley, and details of raw NSA intercepts. Which one is the leader and which one is the front man?
Numerous examples – all well published - require Urbane Guerrilla to grasp reality - to ignore his political agenda. Urbane Guerrilla is not capable of grasping realities that contradict a political agenda. So UG actually believes George Jr makes decisions? Brown shirts believe what they are told; will even deny reality. Reality was long ago that Cheney has long been the president.
Cheney’s big complaint? The presidency does not have enough power.
