i'm in my bunker, f*&k the resta u

And here's #11: "Let terrorists attack the country." How do I know this? Read this WaPo profile.

On the morning of 9/11, the dick was in his bunker, surrounded by various staffers, watching CNN. When the second plane hit, everyone in the room reacted with a loud groan -- except him. The entire rest of the world was stunned by what had just happened, but not the dick. No surprise, shock or awe. Cheney displayed no horror, dismay or compassion for fellow citizens who had just lost their lives. The dick was cool as a cucumber.

Three people who were present, not all of them admirers, said they saw no sign then or later of the profound psychological transformation that has often been imputed to Cheney. What they saw, they said, was While others assessed casualties and the work of "first responders," extraordinary self-containment and a rapid shift of focus to the machinery of power. Cheney began planning for a conflict that would call upon lawyers as often as soldiers and spies.

Before the day was over, the dick and his team of legal beagles were plotting an unprecedented power grab.

Down in the bunker, according to a colleague with firsthand knowledge, Cheney and Addington began contemplating the founding question of the legal revolution to come: What extraordinary powers will the president need for his response?

So the bodies weren't cold yet and the dick, who hadn't even shed a tear for those who died that day, was only interested in one thing -- power. And that is clearly the reaction of someone who knew what was going to happen and used it as an excuse to take power.
