3. This should be fun -

we're on the flight path between Quantico and the Pentagon, so we're used to low-flying helicopters, but I wonder what this is gonna be like.

Fun.........................

4. Thank God Cheney Isn't Running This Exercise.....

who knows what would have happened.

6. You are assuming he isn't.

I don't think he really left.
changed offices, maybe moved a few blocks, but he hasn't given up any control, just gone underground.
Hell, not even that..he has been on tv almost as much as Obama.

[FiveGoodMen]

7. I'm with you.

I don't think power has changed hands at all.

14. I have to agree...

Cheney's new place is just down the block from Cia headquarters....close enough he can just stroll down the street or duck through a tunnel.
His people are all still in place.
What has changed?

5. Watch out!

Dubya was spotted tryin on a flight suit again!

[I Corrigan]

9. I see no problem with this move

They are letting everyone know ahead of time about the details. That's good.

[Politicalboi]

10. I don't know

NORAD couldn't even find 4 planes one day. They're useless.

[ConcernedCanuk]
