[Grovenet] Is VP Cheney Next?

[Allen Warren]

Personally, before I would consider thoughts of removing Cheney first and possibly Bush second, I'd want to first review the scenarios of what would happen & what could be plans for a change in both the President and Vice-President.  It wasn't that long ago where a campaign was completed that removed the leader of a certain country yet it became painfully apparent very quickly the planning only focused on removal of that leader and not the options/plans on what to do after the leader was removed from power.  And yes, I'm talking about our current Administration only planning for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and not necessarily what to do after.  Or at least it seems to me that's what was and was not planned.

And I used to fall into the trap of focusing on the task or view at hand until a wise former manager said one day, "have you considered what could transpire after you complete that project campaign?"  He then peppered me with question after question after question until I felt overwhelmed.  But it did make me think.  And that's when this manager then handed me an excellent book by Peter Schwartz titled "The Art of the Long View: Planning for the Future in an Uncertain World".

Feels like this is one of those times in History we could really use a Visionary Leader in Government.

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.
