Ends justify the means: what ends exactly?

We all know that the Bush administration stretched or broke the law in the supposed interest of fighting the War on Terra(tm). The latest seems to have Cheney specifically ordering the CIA to not tell congress about some secret program they were operating, possibly with the express intent of assassinating top al Qaeda leaders.

Since they only ever seem to kill/capture the supposed #3 (the most dangerous job on the planet), can we definitively say that Bush et al were the most incompetent boobs in history? If Cheney sees only ends and cares little for the niceties of means, and he consistently failed to achieve those ends, what does that say?

I'd actually bet money that this latest intrigue involves a program far more sinister than assassinating bin Laden...something done by the CIA on American soil, or creepier.

I would not put anything past them. Really, anything.

I think I would rather continue to hear about Palin if it meant Cheney would just shut up and disappear

Problem with Palin, like George, she is ripe for a CHeney of her own

To continue the old Star Wars analogy....

W was Darth Maul.
Palin may be Anakin. Not sure about her likely redemption, nor whether she was ever good, but still...

Cheney remains the emperor.

The Sith were a lot more competent. Cheney is, like, emperor of the dipshits.

They're more like The Really Rottens, or The Legion of Doom.
