May 5, 2006.

"Cheney the sore loser." THE KING of Open Market Competition holds a grudge against Russia in every speech he made. The Open Market Principle ONLY applies when Cheney personally profits from it.

From "The Guardian"

Three years into the war that has come to define the legacy of the Bush administration Dick Cheney, the vice-president, has said he has no regrets about the decision to invade Iraq.


Mr Cheney's refusal to admit to doubts about going to war highlights his isolation from an administration which has demonstrated a degree of candour about Iraq, as well as the rest of the country where only 37% approve of the White House's handling of the conflict. Mr Cheney has even less support; his approval ratings have dipped below 20%. But in an interview to appear in June's Vanity Fair magazine, he remained a picture of certitude.
