So, is Dick being set up to take the blame and the fall?

Cheney’s Long Path to War
The Hard Sell: He sifted intel. He brooded about threats. And he wanted Saddam gone. The inside story of how Vice President Cheney bought into shady assumptions and helped persuade a nation to invade Iraq

By Mark Hosenball, Michael Isikoff and Evan Thomas

Lately the stories I've been reading have been loading Cheney up with guilt, talking about how independent and strong his offices have been in this administration, and how much of the drive to accept (and maybe even coerce) faulty or incomplete intelligence can be laid squarely with Cheney.

Even if he is being loaded up to be unloaded, I don't think it will wash over the long haul.

"It was my vice president who screwed this country into a hole. He told me what to do, and I trusted him. He was wrong. I'll choose a better one this time."

How's that sound?
