As President Obama unshackles the leg irons of the Bush administration's failed Middle East policy with his moving speech to the Muslim world ~ Dick ' the natural state of man is war ' Cheney squirms nervously in his seat increasingly aware that his politics of fear is becoming irrelevant in a world that seeks to cooperate and unite:

MEMO TO GEORGE W BUSH
FROM DICK CHENEY

Look George, why are you not returning my calls ~ it's important we get our stories straight before a truth commission or another 9/11 commission questions us again.

I never really told you this but there is a reason I insisted that we be only questioned together and not under oath, during the original 9/11 investigation ~ I purposely left you out of the loop as to what was really going down on 9/11 and could not afford to have you let that secret out of the bag.

The truth is I convened my War council almost immediately after the attacks and set in motion the needed action to give me ( Of course, I really mean yourself ) almost unquestioned executive power in accomplishing our neocon agenda. ( I still firmly believe that the attacks served that all important purpose and I don't feel the least bit guilty for my part in all the resultant deaths and destruction ~ and you shouldn't either ~ nervous sigh )

I also knew how badly you wanted a small war so you could play Commander-In-Chief and that was a proud moment indeed ~ when you landed on the aircraft carrier and declared Mission Accomplished. How were we to know that the Iraqi's would not roll over and play dead and let us accomplish our oil grab ( Oops, I meant liberation from their evil regime ~ chuckle )

The only person who is openly supporting me now is my daughter Liz ~ and that's only because she is just as vulnerable as I am with her masterminding of my covert Iranian operations.

Obama is ruining our good work in the Middle East with his Olive Branch peace overtures and unsettling all our friends at AIPAC ~ who we sold our souls to for political power and they still expect us to hold up our end of that bargain ~ like approving the increase of their illegal settlements. ( Good luck, Obama on that one ~ chuckle )

I hate to threaten you, George ~ but you were responsible and signed off on all the executive orders that I ( and my war council ) drafted and if I get indicted ~ you'll go down with me. And that includes the decision to destroy all the Guantanamo torture tapes, especially the forced 9/11 confessions tapes, which later infuriated the leaders of that commission.

I'm getting nervous, George ~ the mainstream press is starting to smell blood in the water, with all this torture business, and it's just a matter of time before they connect all the dots to 9/11. ( Of course, on the Web they are already calling me America's Darth Vader and the Lord Of War ~ see this one done earlier this year http://blogs.salon.com/0002255/2009/03/12.html )

Maybe it's time to think about Operation Paraguay ~ we do have that military protected compound there and we can't be extradited for war crimes ~ but I digress.

Please contact me, George ~ we need to be there for each other during these perilous times and I don't want to be the only one who is still justifying torture ( Oops, I mean harsh interrogation techniques )

Uncle Dick

P.S. Destroy this memo immediately ~ the last thing we need is for this to get loose on the Internet.
