Tommy Franks on Dick Cheney
A favorite liberal canard is that Dick Cheney runs the white house and that president is too dumb to do anymore than follow along passively.
Tommy Franks on page 349 of his autobiography:
Since 9/11, I'd attended four presidential briefings and more than twenty secure Video Teleconferences with the President and the National Security Council. Dick Cheney never asked more than one of two questions at each briefing, but they consistently cut to the core of the issue at hand. And he always sought information that would further President Bush's understanding of an important point. Cheney had been Secretary of Defense in the Gulf War, and I knew Bush had great respect for him.
