I sptted this just now I did a quick search and came up with nothing if it's been posted by another name"Which happens" Please delete or move it.

I doubt we will hear any real "Tell All" We will be lucky to get any real new news.
I say it's all politics and possibly Cheney covering his rear.

Spoiling for a Bush-Cheney Fight
Dick Cheney, the most powerful American vice-president in history, thinks his considered opinion was ignored under Bush's second term. His upcoming memoir, as reported by Barton Gellman in this morning's Washington Post, purports to detail the inconveniences he believed he suffered. These include:

* Bush bowed to hostile public opinion
* Bush "moved away" from him on waterboarding, secret CIA prisons, and domestic surveillance
* Bush ignored the possibility of "regime change" in North Korea and Iran
* Bush fired Rumsfeld and left Scooter Libby out to dry

Cheney, preparing his memoirs, unloads on Bush for bowing to public opinion
But now, writing his own account of his eight years as George W. Bush's vice president, Cheney is telling friends that "the statute of limitations has expired" on tensions between them.

As Time magazine reported last month, Cheney was furious at Bush for not pardoning Scooter Libby, the vice presidential aide who, in Cheney's words, "was asked to stick his neck in the meat grinder" by not disclosing all he knew about who leaked CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity to the press.

Okay so are we up for a fight? or Is Cheney taking the heat off of Bush?
That list sounds to me like perhaps he is taking the heat and making himself look like a donkey. Tensions? of course they are easing he just told on himself in the most basic terms.
Bush bowed to the public, turned away from torture, refused to interfere in another countries ruling party and fired dumbsfeild....yeah they are up for a fight alright the one for the next bottle.

yeah my spelling off pfft I was up late watching the sky fall oh wait that was the meteor show

Good point, but either way it makes Bush look bad. Even if Cheny is just "taking the blame", what does it say about Bush then? That for the first term he just did what Cheny told him to do. That for the 2nd term he didn't listen to Cheny but still messed things up?
