It’s pretty clear that Cheney is in
the process of consolidating his power.
Everybody in the CIA that halfway challenged him on the 9/11- Saddam
Hussein connection is on their way out. One of his former aids (Stephen Hadley) will be the new national security
advisor. And most importantly, strong willed, independent minded Colin Powell is being replaced with the ever
compliant Condi Rice.
I’ll be surprised if one of Cheney’s cronies doesn’t end up being the new Energy
secretary.
The only real mystery is whether Cheney will let Bush appoint one of his evangelical friends as
Secretary of Education.
