ISIS takes over Iraqi cities

[The Troll]

Looks like Iraq is a mess, the US is evacuating Americans from an air base, but not the Embassy. Iraq is reportedly asking for our help, specifically air strikes. Do we help, hope another country help(France perhaps), or let them fend for themselves? Mrs. Clinton says the "disaster" could not have been forseen. Anyone believe that?

  I don't know what you believe.     But I believe and do know that this would not be happening if it wasn't for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and and all of the lying Republicans who started the war on Iraq.   

  Just think George W. Bush killed 4,500 and wounded over 30,000 of our young people.      For oil and to out do daddy.

Speaking of Dick Cheney, he had the unmitigated gall to say this about Obama. 

"Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many."

and.....

[Locutus]

It's amazingly hypocritical for him to pen such a statement about Iraq and not be talking about George W. Bush. 

[Henry Hawk]

He said RARELY...

I'm dickin with ya.....though I am not a Cheney hater...........I understand how you libs ( ) can get all bent out of shape with that statement.

Dick Cheney, did you really want to go there?

The Cheney polemic would be outrageous even if our former vice president's record on Iraq had been one of absolute clairvoyance. As it happens, he was wrong in almost every prediction he made about the war.

On March 16, 2003, days before the war started, Cheney sat down with the late Tim Russert on NBC's "Meet the Press" for what still stands as the most revealing of the prewar interviews. Cheney was adamant that "to suggest that we need several hundred thousand troops there after military operations cease, after the conflict ends, I don't think is accurate. I think that's an overstatement."

"We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators," he famously said and proceeded to play down the very sectarian divisions that are plaguing the country now. Russert asked: "And you are convinced the Kurds, the Sunnis, the Shiites will come together in a democracy?" Cheney replied quickly: "They have so far." He went on:

"If you look at the opposition, they've come together, I think, very effectively, with representatives from Shia, Sunni and Kurdish elements in the population. They understand the importance of preserving and building on an Iraqi national identity. They don't like to have the U.S., for example, come in and insist on dealing with people sort of on a hyphenated basis — the Iraqi-Shia, Iraqi-Sunni — but rather to focus on Iraq as a nation and all that it can accomplish as a nation, and we try to be sensitive to those concerns. I think the prospects of being able to achieve this kind of success, if you will, from a political standpoint, are probably better than they would be for virtually any other country and under similar circumstances in that part of the world."

Bingo Bo D.  He told more lies about the situation in Iraq than George W. Bush did. 

"The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."  -- Dick Cheney

"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us."  -- Dick Cheney

"I think it will go relatively quickly. Weeks rather than months." -- Dick Cheney

Here is Cheney talking to Megan Kelly.........she asks all those questions...and he responds.

I hate to say this, but Megyn Kelly is right in what she said to him.

MEGYN KELLY: In your op-ed, you write as follows: 'Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.' But time and time again, history has proven that you got it wrong as well, sir. You said there were no doubts that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. You said we would be greeted as liberators. You said the Iraq insurgency was in its last throes back in 2005. And you said after our intervention, extremists would have to "rethink their strategy of jihad." Now with almost a trillion dollars spent there with 4,500 American lives lost there, what do you say to those who say you were so wrong about so much at the expense of so many?

What does Cheney do in response?  Keeps peddling the same lies that he used to get us in there in the first place.

He didn't respond to a single f@#$ing question.

Plus he dropped yet another lie .... "Barack Obama has stated repeatedly that the terrorist threat is gone"

What the President said that the wingnuts just can't seem to understand is ....

"We must define our effort not as a boundless 'Global War on Terror,' but rather as a series of persistent, targeted efforts to dismantle specific networks of violent extremists that threaten America," Obama said.

BIG DIFFERENCE!

I look forward to one day spitting on Cheney's grave.

  The only way this asshole will die is, he is shot with a silver bullet, garlic is wrapped around his neck and a stake driven thought that black heart of his.

If you really dislike him that much, why waste the effort? Won't matter to him and it just takes time away from doing what you enjoy doing.
