5. Feed back from posting GW's staff were former Nixon staff
No way they aren't old enough to be a part of Nixons staff. Well the only reason Nixon got into trouble was because the Dem's were out to get him and his staff were innocent of any wrong doings. Whats Nixon got to do with shrub, shrub is an honest man and so is his staff. Liberal media lies. Dem's are just making up things because they caught Clinton lying and tried to impeach him and the media is helping the Dem's because they are liberal media whores.

7. Are you saying that rummy and cheney were NOT in the Nixon WH?

1969: Richard Nixon takes office; the war in Vietnam continues to escalate

Audio: Rumsfeld and Nixon: caught on tape
In 1971, Rumsfeld went to his mentor, President Nixon, for advice on his political future.
Their conversation was caught on Nixon's numerous secret White House audiotapes.
Click here to hear, or read, the discussion between Nixon and his young assistant.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/pentagon/paths/audio.html

Cheney follows Rumsfeld to the White House, but soon moves on to serve as assistant director of the Cost of Living Council.
He will stay there until 1973, when he returns to private life as a businessman.

Cheney, 63, the Bush administration's chief hawk on foreign policy,
has served in government during six of the last seven administrations.

· Executive branch assistant (Nixon, Ford)
· White House Chief of Staff (Ford)
· U.S. Representative (R.) (Carter, Reagan)
· House Minority Whip (Reagan)
· Secretary of Defense (G. H. W. Bush)
· President and CEO, Halliburton (Clinton)
· Vice President (G. W. Bush)
