Personally, I think that this administration is actually more accomplished at some things than any other previous one - and I mean that as a compliment. In this instance, I think that they're absolute masters of misdirection. By that, I mean that they use certain people and/or statements to pull attention away from what they're really trying to accomplish. Cheney in the last few months has been one of those "red herrings", at least in my opinion. Powell was during the first term, although he may not have been a willing participant. Personally, I think the Pelosi trip to Syria was just another example. While Pelosi herself may not have been the vehicle that transported the administration's message, there were no doubt "fellow travelers" who are at least trying to bridge some of the gaps.
