Cheney on Iran deal: 'It is madness' - CNNPolitics.com

This coming from the man who lied us into the Iraq war. Credibility counts a lot and DICK, you have none!

We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." –Vice President Dick Cheney, "Meet The Press" March 16, 2003 (Source)

In Iraq, a ruthless dictator cultivated weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them.

He gave support to terrorists, had an established relationship with al Qaeda, and his regime is no more." –Vice President Dick Cheney, Nov. 7, 2003 (Source)

Do we really want to trust the judgement of Dick Cheney?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Who stands to make money off dead US soldiers and dead innocents in Iran?

The Republcans and RWs want endless wars. That's why they want Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

Beats trusting the judgement of an Islamist supporter.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Cheney et al caused the situation, and now he is bitching?

Compare what Obama said about Iraq to what Cheney said about Iraq

Any wonder why Obama is President?

What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.
What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income — to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression. That's what I'm opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics. Now let me be clear — I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He's a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him.
But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history. I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaida. I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars.
Barack Obama October 2002

Just like when the Clinton regime made an agreement with North Korea that resulted in them getting a bomb, the media will ignore it and it will be largely forgotten.

However since the Iranians are ruled by apocalyptic psychopaths, we won't be able to ignore the mushroom cloud.

Well, Obama's lost two wars already. Any wonder the military hates him?

Obama was 100% correct on Iraq........Cheneys lies sent 6000 Americans to their deaths

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Obama was 100% correct on Iraq

Nope. Not even close.

Frankly, Obama has not been correct about anything since taking office.

Well, give him credit, he's got balls. I'd be in permanent hiding if I had done what he's done.
