Mondale: Cheney cooks up lousy advice - Yahoo! News

Mondale was a lot more polite than he should have been.

Cheney is a criminal, period. He has done more than step over the line.

Furthermore, this president has been served as he has wished to be served.

He knew in 2004, that the Vice had been the nexus of stove-piped Intel. in an effort to deceive the nation into an unnecessary and disastrous war; a war that this president wanted.

He could have dumped Cheney from the ticket if he was being ill-served. He chose not to. No more needs to be said about this president being ill-served. He has been told the facts, by Generals and others. He doesn't listen and people who speak up get fired.

Mondale: Cheney cooks up lousy advice - Yahoo! News:

ATHENS, Ga. - Vice President Dick Cheney has bullied federal agencies and given absurd advice about the nation's risk and Iraq, Walter Mondale said Friday, adding that never would have been tolerated when Mondale was vice president.

'I think that Cheney has stepped way over the line,' Mondale said at the opening of a three-day conference about former President Jimmy Carter at the University of Georgia.

Mondale, who served under Carter, said Cheney and his assistants pressured federal agencies as they prepared information for President Bush.

'I think Cheney's been at the center of cooking up farcical estimates of national risks, weapons of mass destruction and the 9/11 connection to Iraq,' he said.

That does not serve the president, because he needs facts, Mondale said.
