    He was clueless. People actually voted for him; twice! He let Chaney run affairs which is sad indeed..

    That was Cheney's condition to run with Bush. He would get Bush to the Whitehouse, but he would be the president behind the scenes.

    Why on earth would two congressmen think it's a good idea to go to the Kabul airport on a "fact finding mission"? Sounds like a pretty dumb idea to me.

    They thought they'd get some attention/ TV time. Assholes, both of them.

    But as long as it get's them re-elected, all that really matters. To say it was for any other reason is a blatant lie.

    Those two Congressmembers had to be protected by US soldiers and took two seats on flight home. They literally hampered rescue effort.
