it all goes back to the Kennedy assassination. Nixon and Bush I were involved, Ford was on the Warren Commission. Agnew took a dive, Nixon appointed Ford, Ford ascended when Nixon fell, then pardoned Nixon and his cronies. Bush ran the CIA, then slipped into the VP slot. He was the puppeteer for Reagan like Cheney (former Nixon staffer, along with Rumsfeld, et al) was for Bush II.

You're not mistaken. And, as Reagan and Poppy Bush got away with it, all sorts of things ensued.

Do you think Poppy still holds as much power? He looks pitiful, but wolf in sheeps clothing still

I believe the US government does. Look who we sell arms to. We just don't call them "terrorists."
