I think the reference to Cheney is a bit over the top, but not by much.
And I can't fault Cheney for avoiding the Draft- I did much the same, myself.
OTOH, I never claimed that I supported the war after the war by avoiding the war in the first place...
But Cheney did, with a straight face and an air of authority, and was actually believed by many. He sold his soul at a young age, and never looked back, never regretted it one teensy bit, never told the truth unless it suited his purposes at the time. Confronted with his own lies about Iraq, he denied having ever uttered them, even though they were recorded on videotape. And he was still believed. He was, and remains, a psychopath's psycopath, utterly corrupt, a man with few equals.
Thank God for that.
