[Grovenet] Is VP Cheney Next?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House offered support on Wednesday for Vice
President Dick Cheney, a powerful proponent of the Iraq war, after the
conviction of his top aide dealt a fresh blow to Cheney's political
reputation and raised new questions about his influence. 

The trial of Lewis "Scooter" Libby showed Cheney, often portrayed by critics
as the shadowy Darth Vader behind the war in Iraq, was deeply involved in an
effort to discredit a critic of the administration's prewar intelligence.

Libby's conviction on perjury and obstruction of justice charges placed
Cheney squarely in the center of a new political storm....

If VP Cheney were to fall, I'd hope to see the President next. 

As a strong proponent for fixing our mess in Iraq, I have to ask myself if
I'd support impeaching the VP and President if it meant a hasty troop
pullout leaving Iraq to the insurgents. 

I think I would. Hopefully we could return to the idea of helping Iraq
recover once we had a trustworthy, functioning executive branch in the USA
again, but it seems to me that anything we do right now will be only what we
do right by accident. 

That's not good enough by far.
