Dick Cheney Keeping it Real
MUSCAT, Oman – Vice President Dick Cheney went fishing in the waters between Oman and Iran on Wednesday, borrowing the Sultan of Oman’s 60-foot royal yacht for the mission.
A Cheney spokeswoman said the vice president, his wife Lynne, and daughter, Liz, a former State Department official who is traveling with her father as a private citizen, headed out under sunny skies into the Gulf of Oman on “Kingfish I,” owned by Sultan Qaboos bin Said.Cheney has had a personal relationship with the sultan going back to the time when the vice president was defense secretary, but the sultan did not go along on the fishing trip.
but the sultan did not go along on the fishing trip.
Reportedly Harry Whittington called the Sultan and warned “Don’t go!!”
good one
So Cheney fishes with a shotgun too? I just assumed he’d use grenades.
Knowing Cheney’s sportsmanship, he was probably using dynamite to catch the fish. Which were previously released by Omanian navy divers.
He was trying to get the Iranian Navy (?) to attack his boat, hoping for an incident a la Gulf of Tonkin.
Remember no matter what happens in the world it is your fault; that appears to be the only real plan right now.
