Cheney's Game; Cheney's
Rules
What
Would Royko Write?
By SHEILA SAMPLES
I often wonder what Chicago's late, great Mike
Royko thinks about "Boss" Dick Cheney literally snickering
up his sleeve at the direction he's managed to steer the Independent
(sic) 9-11 Commission to effectively cover up what he and others
in the administration knew before 9-11.
I suspect the acerbic renegade columnist
would be quick to point out that the Commission is working pretty
hard on its own to make Cheney's job easier. He'd probably tell
us the Commission's "bipartisan" members are arguably
the only group of people in this country -- maybe even the world
-- who don't know exactly what this entire bunch knew -- and
when they knew it.
You play Cheney's game, you play by Cheney's
rules and with Cheney's stacked deck. That's the deal -- take
it or leave it. Nobody gets a break here. The Cheney White House
has gone from angrily resisting an independent investigation,
to sabotaging it via curtailing funds and imposing unrealistic
cut-off dates and, finally, to blatant manipulation. Distractions,
such as public outrage over selecting Henry Kissinger to be in
charge of anything even remotely honorable, gave Cheney the cover
he needed, for example, to install as Commission executive director
Philip Zelikow, a Condoleezza Rice buddy and former member of
the 2000 Cheney/Bush transition team.
Zelikow may not be privy to what led
up to Bin Laden's 9-11 attack on the United States, but he has
no illusions about what prompted Bush's 3-20 attack on Iraq.
In a Sep
10, 2002 speech at the University of Virginia, Zelikow maintained
that the war, in which 613 U.S. and 105 coalition
troops have been killed and far too many more wounded and
maimed, was motivated by the U.S. government's desire to defend
Israel.
"Why would Iraq attack America or
use nucler weapons against us?" Zelikow asked. "I'll
tell you what I think the real threat is and actually has been
since 1990 -- it's the threat against Israel." Zelikow went
on to say that such a threat "dare not speak its name,"
because it was not a "popular sell" with the Europeans.
Can't argue with that. If there's one
thing Boss Cheney knows, it's how to make money in the war market...
Thus, Zelikow is both an able 9-11 Commission
puppet and puppeteer. He decides the parameters of the investigation
into what was done to protect America before 9-11, to include
which questions witnesses are asked, and whether subpoenas will
be issued. None have been. None will be.
But not even Zelikow sealed the deal
for Cheney. Still not satisfied, Cheney went to great lengths
to install former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean as Commission
chairman. Kean, director and shareholder of Amerada Hess, is
directly involved in an oil venture with Saudi Arabia's Delta
Oil, which is in part controlled by Khalid bin Mafhouz, Osama
Bin Laden's brother-in-law.
Just another amazing coincidence which,
Kean assures us, will have no effect on his performance in striving
mightily to discover any part the Saudis might have played in
this nation's most horrific tragedy.
However, Cheney's never been one to take
chances. With the 9-11 widows out there stomping around, demanding
the truth, there was only one thing to do. Appease them. Offer
up Condi. Putting a squirming Condaleezza Rice out there to publicly
untangle the snarl of lies she has told to any media outlet that
would schedule her for the past year is just one part of Cheney's
grand scheme to close the books on this pesky little matter.
Matter of fact, throwing Rice to the
wolves is no big deal -- anybody who's paid even marginal attention
to Cheney's modus operandi over the years has seen that one coming
for a long time. Although Rice has been richly rewarded for years
by both Bush father and son for carrying their water so well,
when the FOC (friends of Condi) recently began touting her as
the logical choice for vice president, <http://www.bushrice04.org/>
her bucket very quickly got a hole in it. Suddenly, it's water,
water everywhere...
It's only fair to point out that many
of Rice's wounds are self-inflicted. Lying, then spinning the
lies, then lying about spinning the lies can get tedious -- even
confusing -- and can cause someone to suffer irreparable memory
loss when someone is under oath. Especially In public. Rice will
pull through her highly publicized appearance before the Committee
this week damaged to be sure, and useless, but thanks to Zelikow
and Kean, she will emerge intact.
But the "deal" Cheney made
with Commission members for an interview, where he and Bush appear
together -- not under oath, in private, with no official record
and only one note-taker in attendance who probably had to promise
not to remember anything he hears, and if he does, he will cut
off his own head and bury it in the backyard -- sets a new low
in lack of cooperation for this bunch. And that's quite a feat.
Of course, there's always the outside
chance Cheney just told the flat-out (haw-haw snicker gasp snort)
truth. "Look, guys," Cheney could have said, "we're
up to our asses in alligators here. You know how dysfunctional
the Bushes are -- especially this one. I have to be in there
with him. Can't afford for him to have a public meltdown..."
Cheney probably had to go no further
than to remind them of Bush's zany performance last week when
a reporter asked him, "Mr. President, do you have a plan
to deal with the high gasoline prices?"
Bush leaned over the podium as he is
prone to do when he wants to appear not only honest, but earnestly
honest, and -- for some bewildering reason, referring to himself
in the third person -- responded, "The President of the
United States has gotta 'jawbone' OPEC members and make 'em understand
they can't cut back on oil production."
With reporters staring at him numbly,
Bush went on to boast with a wink and a big grin, "I was
an oil man once -- not a big oil man, I was a little oil man
but that's still an oil man so I know a little bit about the
subject..."
So, it's easy to see how the Commission
could be convinced that questioning Bush one-on-one might result
in a real nasty Texas truth gusher. Like Cheney probably told
them, splattering the public with the oily truth "at this
time in our history" probably isn't the most prudent thing
to do. You know, for national security and stuff like that.
But wait -- there's more! The real coup
was Cheney demanding -- and getting -- a written promise from
the Commission that it will relinquish all rights to ask further
questions from ANY member of the administration, to include advisers
and unelected warmongering neocon perps who are skulking mischieviously
along the shadowy periphery of democracy. Members even relinquished
the right to contact those who previously testified in order
to clarify remarks they may have made.
In a groveling March
30 statement, the Commission -- crawling eagerly on its
belly like a bitch dog begging for attention -- profusely thanked
both Bush and Cheney for agreeing to meet in just one joint private
session, and promised not to allow the gracious presence of Dr.
Rice to set a precedent. And, in spite of the daily stonewalling
and efforts to discredit and derail the Commission's mandate,
for no discernable reason at all, they collectively praised Bush
for his "consistent policy of strong support."
Is this Commission independent or what?
Having Jelikow and Kean covering your
backside is kinda like putting the tag team of neocon operatives
Antonin Scalia and James Baker in charge of yet another presidential
election. There will be no pointy-finger hanging chads, no blame-game
butterflies -- and no surprises when the mostly redacted Commission
report is vetted by the White House and finally approved by Cheney
for release in July.
Trying to understand the convoluted,
behind-the-scenes machinations of Commission officials -- to
make sense of their feverish rhetoric -- I can sympathize with
Royko, who fumed in frustration when he came face-to-face with
the Internet...
"[It's]... like driving a car down
a narrow road in a snow storm, a car in which the windshield
wipers and headlights don't work. All of the signs along the
highway are backwards and upside down and of no help at all.
Finally," Royko said, "when you see someone along the
side of the road and stop for directions, they can only speak
to you stuttering in Albanian."
If Royko were here today, he would convulse
with laughter at the evil silliness of it all. He would shake
his head disapprovingly at us, glower ominously at Cheney, and
then roar indignantly, "Aww, C'mon Boss -- Gimme a Break!"
Royko would leave us no alternative but
to converge on Cheney and demand the truth.
If Royko were here -- I suspect that
we would get it...
