	Dick Cheney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cheney was of military age and a supporter of the Vietnam War but he did not serve in the war, applying for and receiving five draft deferments.
		Cheney was selected for a one-year fellowship in the office of Representative William Steiger, a Republican congressman from Wisconsin.
		Cheney's appeal to the general voting population may be in question, however, since a November 2005 poll found his approval rating at a staggeringly low 19% at a time when the president's hovered around 35%.

	Interview with Vice-President Dick Cheney, NBC, "Meet the Press," Transcript for March 16
		CHENEY: I think that would be the only acceptable outcome I can think of at this point, but obviously, we can continue to try to work through the United Nations and work diplomacy to try to arrive at an acceptable outcome.
		CHENEY: Conversations I had with leaders in the region afterwards, they all supported the decision that was made not to go to Baghdad.
		CHENEY: Our objective will be, if we go in, to defeat whatever forces oppose us, to take down the government of Saddam Hussein, and then to follow on with a series of actions such as eliminating all the weapons of mass destruction, finding where they are and destroying them, preserving the territorial integrity of Turkey.

	The Smoking Gun: Dick Cheney's Youthful Indiscretions
		Cheney told the senators that he believed it would be best to publicly disclose the busts.
		Cheney noted that after dropping out of Yale in early 1961, he found himself "working, building power lines, having been in a couple of scrapes with the law." The busts, he said, made him "think about where I was and where I was headed.

		CHENEY: I don’t, but a lot of folks from that part of the world left in the aftermath of 9/11 because they were worried about public reaction here in the United States or that somehow they might be discriminated against.
		CHENEY: No. I think they felt—certainly, they were advocates of the U.S. action because they wanted to liberate Iraq from, you know, what has been one of the worst dictatorships of the 20th century, the Saddam Hussein regime.
		CHENEY: This president is betting his presidency on the importance of fighting the war on terror, of recognizing that 9/11 changed everything, of adopting a strategy that’s going to make this nation safer and more secure for our kids and grandkids.

		Cheney's company utilized subsidiaries in France, Italy, Germany, and Austria so as not to draw undue attention to controversial business arrangements that might embarrass Washington and jeopardize lucrative ties to Iraq, which will pump $24 billion of petrol under the U.N.-administered oil-for-food program this year.
		With Cheney at the helm since 1995, Halliburton quickly grew into America's number-one oil-services company, the fifth-largest military contractor, and the biggest nonunion employer in the nation.
		Cheney is certainly not the only Washington mover and shaker to have been affiliated with a company trading in Iraq.

	Cheney's the One, by Jim Lobe
		That Cheney should assume such a dominant role is not surprising given the degree to which Bush depended on him during his presidential campaign and in the administration's early days.
		Cheney's own chief of staff and national security adviser, I Lewis "Scooter" Libby, a Washington lawyer and Wolfowitz protégé, is considered a far more skilled and experienced bureaucratic and political operator than Rice.
		It was also Cheney and Libby whose frequent trips to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the run-up to the Iraq war played the decisive role in distorting the intelligence process, in part by pressing on CIA analysts questionable evidence supplied by the INC and Pentagon hawks under Rumsfeld, according to retired intelligence officers.

		Cheney’s record of government service--beginning with his stint as chief of staff to President Ford--shows a fairly stable conservative trajectory.
		Cheney opposed the Equal Rights Amendment, voted against extending the Clean Water Act, and was one of four representatives to oppose the ban on guns that can escape detection through the metal detector.
		Although Cheney continued his hawkish ways after becoming secretary of defense under the first President Bush--including overseeing the drafting of the controversial 1992 Defense Policy Guidance--it wasn’t until he became vice president that the full force of Cheney’s views on defense and foreign policy were felt.

	Rolling Stone : The Curse of Dick Cheney
		Cheney's record of mistakes begins in 1959, when Tom Stroock, a Republican politician-businessman in Casper, Wyoming, got Cheney, then a senior at Natrona County High School, a scholarship to Yale.
		Cheney's strategy for gaining power was the same one he and Rumsfeld had foisted on Ford: making sure no one in the Republican Party outflanked him to the right.
		Cheney, meanwhile, continues to receive $150,000 a year in deferred compensation from Halliburton, even though he is supposed to divest himself of all conflicts of interest.

	CNN.com - Sources: Cheney curses senator over Halliburton criticism - Jun 24, 2004
		Cheney, who as president of the Senate was present for the picture day, turned to Leahy and scolded the senator over his recent criticism of the vice president for Halliburton's alleged war profiteering.
		Cheney is the former CEO of Halliburton, and Democrats have suggested that while serving in the Bush administration he helped win lucrative contracts for his former firm, including a no-bid contract to rebuild Iraq.
		Cheney was chief executive officer of Halliburton from 1995 to 2000.

	Being Dick Cheney -- In These Times
		Finally, amidst increasing U.S. casualties and international uproar over prisoner abuse in Iraq, Cheney said, “Donald Rumsfeld is the best Secretary of Defense the United States has ever had.” The statement effectively endorsed Rumsfeld’s failure to plan for post-war Iraq and his dishonest statements about Iraq’s (still non-existent) WMD arsenal.
		And Cheney continues to trumpet his former oil company Halliburton as a beacon of corporate ethics, even as the company bilks taxpayers and mistreats U.S. troops in Iraq.
		At that point, Cheney would become the real albatross around the Bush campaign’s neck, the perfect symbol of an out of touch and out of control administration that should be voted out of office.

	"Vice Grip" by Joshua Micah Marshall
		Last year, Cheney's White House energy task force produced an all-drilling-and-no-conservation plan that failed not just on policy grounds but as a political matter as well, saddling the administration with a year-long public relations headache after Cheney insisted on running his outfit with a near-Nixonian level of secrecy.
		Cheney's obstinacy ensured that the administration's efforts were stuck in neutral for nearly eight months.
		Cheney is conservative, of course, but beneath his conservatism is something more important: a mindset rooted in his peculiar corporate-Washington-insider class.

		Cheney has met Edwards at least three times: at a prayer breakfast in 2001, at Elizabeth Dole's swearing-in ceremony in 2003, and backstage at Meet the Press.
		Cheney lies all the time, incessantly, even when there is no "need" to lie, in the sense that in some particular situation telling the truth would not be especially damaging and there is no real advantage to be gained from lying.
		Cheney lies because the Bush press minders have become so enamored of their power to manipulate the press they no longer feel constrained at all by the truth.

		It's not surprising that Cheney is avoiding the limelight: an SEC investigation is under way on accounting practices at Halliburton, the company he ran, and Congress's investigative body is still trying to determine how much of the Energy Plan he organized was shaped by oil, coal, and nuclear energy executives.
		Cheney led Halliburton into the top ranks of corporate welfare hogs, benefiting from almost $2 billion in taxpayer-insured loans from the U.S. Export-Import Bank and the Overseas Private Investment Corp. In the five years before Mr.
