re: #347 WhatEVs

I think Bush would have been a different POTUS without Cheney and the entire neocon political force behind him.

Jeb is a complete neocon. If he runs, it’d be like Cheney II.

I do tend to agree that Cheney changed the Bush admin’s calculus but OTOH Cheney wasn’t an ultra-hawk until 9/11. It’s funny to look at this statements post Gulf War I versus now.
