What did I ever say that brought you to that conclusion? Although I don't think GWB is retarded like the Dems try to make him out to be, I also don't think he is the brains behind everything that goes on in his administration. I think he has many advisors around him and that they play important roles. 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.
No President, not even your beloved Clinton, sets their administrations policies by themselves. They get alot of advice and help from a variety of people within their administrations. Clinton's policies were heavily influenced by Hilary and many others.
Bottom line - so what?
