What are these people still doing in the White House?

Marc blogs about Paul O'Neill over at Misanthropicity. It's not news that Bush and his advisors had ambitions for Iraq before September 11, but it's healthy to hear it again, especially on TV. The interesting thing is that O'Neill has so obviously pissed off his former boss, who tries to act all dismissive but wants legal action.

And here's something to follow up my last post on the Saudis, from Anthony Swofford's Jarhead: "Defense Secretary Dick Cheney visits Saudi Arabia on August 5 [1991], and brokers a historic deal allowing U.S. troops on Saudi soil for the first time ever." I'd forgotten it was Cheney himself. Good God.
