However, Cheney is just one advisor (albeit an important one) and if GWB ends up taking the advice of one or more of his other advisors, Cheney as VP defers to that.

Maybe so, but Suskind's book demonstrates that Cheney is one of very few people with good access to the President (Andy Card and Condi Rice are two others), that Cheney has a very significant role in deciding who gets to say what to W., and that he uses this role to press his own views. Of course, the source for this account was the Treasury Secretary. Suskind has been posting documents that reflect this sort of thing on his website.

No President, not even your beloved Clinton, sets their administrations policies by themselves.

That was my point, although it's unclear why you think I love Clinton. Maybe you and bilmore have been comparing notes.
