True~ why would bush need Cheney if Bush is the one calling the shots?
Then again from what I have learned (educate me if i'm wrong ^^) A VP is just supposed to sit there...and well, kinda vegetate or something~

Got a couple of ideas

1. Bush will help command the life support staff when Cheney goes into a heart attack. You need a Commander and Chief
2. One of them doesn't do jack anyway so why not kill two birds with one stone? He'll finish saying what he knows in 3 minutes or less and then the next guy can take it from there. Don't need to spend an hour asking one guy questions when all he'll respond with is "I don't know, ask the man in charge."

I believe McClellan said something about how it's a time issue. Really. I'm serious.

Can someone (any Bush supporter) really say that the reason for this...whatever it may be...is more important than supplying the commission with the answers to their questions.

I heard that NONE OF his/or Cheneys' testimony will be under oath.. so what good is it?

They will be appearing "together" to present a target to terror groups so as to get attacked
and avoid testifying and get the commission killed along with their selves just to prove to
all the libbies that they are right, because they really care what all the "little" libies say...

I hear the finale will be Bush answering questions while Cheney drinks a glass of water.

I decided my question needed it's own thread.

Okay, does anyone have a serious answer?

CAD, Corn, and any other Bush supporters can you help me with this?

how are we supposed to know? seriously, what do those of us not involved in the 9/11 comission know about the intricasies of it's operation?

are we supposed to provide you with meaningless conjecture that you're going to attempt to twist and spin? are we supposed to give you fodder that you can try and use to fire back at us when our argument goes awry?

why dont you give us your non conspiricized theories?

Would "because they don't want any inconsistancies between them" be a conspiricized theory?

I do not have "conspiricized theories". I am not trying to get "fodder" that I will try to use to fire back at you.

I am curious what you guys think.

What's your thought on why they will be appearing at the same time?

BTW, I don't think Bowfinger was being serious. ;)
