his closest supporters, his closest advisers at that time, condoleeza rice, there was a fractured relationship particularly during the time with iraq and particularly with scooter libby and also with the gay marriage issue. so there was a fracture, a breaking off of sorts. it was george w. bush against cheney and rumsfeld. you had colon powell why didn t they break earlier? george w. bush is very loyal. why did we go to iraq and cheney had something to do with it. weapons of mass destruction never foubd and going on intelligence that was faulty. george w. bush used at the time and said so as a way to get europeans to join us. it wasn t the reason we went to iraq. used it as an argument. they used the emotion of 9/11 and went on with that.
