In trying to peg the ruling Cheney-Bush Junta the term that comes to mind is Let's Make a Deal Democracy provided by a brigade of hypocritical Chicken Hawks.  

Isn't it funny that this evil beast Saddam Hussein was not really such a bad fellow when we were in the midst of Operation Let's Make a Deal with him during the Reagan years?  Even the coiner of the memorable term "Evil Empire" for the Soviet Union did not mind.

Our own CIA helped bring the Iraqi dictator to power in the first place and when deals were there to be made that we felt were in our interest then Donald Rumsfeld could sit there in Saddam's office and smile as the brutal dictator was gassing his own Kurdish population.  

At one point Senator Allen Simpson of Wyoming, a close Dick Cheney home state compatriot and prominent Capitol Hill Republican, went to Baghdad and openly apologized to Saddam, lamenting that he had received a bad public relations rap from our presumably "left wing" media.
