Washington (CNN) –Former Vice President Dick Cheney and daughter Liz Cheney penned a scathing op-ed in which they offered a blistering critique of President Barack Obama’s handling of the escalating violence in Iraq.
"Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many," the wrote Cheney and his daughter, a conservative pundit and former State Department official in the Bush administration, in an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal. "Instead, he abandoned Iraq and we are watching American defeat snatched from the jaws of victory."

You have to love the irony of that first line..Seriously Dick, just STFU and go shoot some more friends and take your skanky daughter with you.
 
I don't agree with the skanky remark, or the shooting remark, but the quote from Cheney enraged me.
 
"Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many,"

That would be President Bush and you Mr. Cheney.
 
Cheney's right. Obama's the biggest loser to ever occupy the Oval Office.

I'm too classy to go after Obama's kids, so I'll let the comments about Cheney's family stand on their own merits.

Cheney's "kids" are adults that often take shots at other politicians including this article.. They are fair game.

I was being facetious about the shooting remark. His daughter is an entirely different matter.
 
The worst part is that Cheney knew the likely consequences of the second war with Iraq.

"And once we'd ......gotten rid of Saddam Hussein and his government, then we'd have had to put another government in its place. What kind of government? Should it be a Sunni government or Shi'i government or a Kurdish government or Ba'athist regime? Or maybe we want to bring in some of the Islamic fundamentalists? How long would we have had to stay in Baghdad to keep that government in place? What would happen to the government once U.S. forces withdrew? How many casualties should the United States accept in that effort to try to create clarity and stability in a situation that is inherently unstable? I think it is vitally important for a President to know when to use military force. I think it is also very important for him to know when not to commit U.S. military force. And it's my view that the President got it right both times, that it would have been a mistake for us to get bogged down in the quagmire inside Iraq."

I'm not going to take cheap shots at someone's kids. Sorry I'm more honorable than that.
 
No, I tell the truth about Obama. I leave his family out of it.

Sure you do. We can always trust you are telling the truth. So tell me. Since George W. is the son of George HW Bush, is he not fair game?

Liz Cheney is not a child. She makes political commentary all the time. Some political kids don't insert themselves into politics. Dubya's daughters keep their mouths shut, as does Chelsea.

Huge difference. So spare me the higher road pap. We both know you have never walked on it.

You know I get so tied of that guy. Why can't he just fade away like all good VP are suppose to do. He should follow his former boss's example. Whether or not he is right or wrong, it just comes off as sour grapes. Hey Dick, why not just ride away into the sunset like all good former cowboys and VP's are suppose to do.
 
It should be noted here that Cheney and Bush both can not leave the US boarders or they will be arrested and tried for war crimes committed during their administration..


Dick is also been reportedly guilty of angry morning sex.

Nah he can't have sex. He doesn't have the "heart" for it.
 
The mutt should be in a war crimes cell looking out and instead the Mainstream Media gives him space for an Op-ed. What does that say about the Mainstream Brainstream Media? They gave the s.o.b. a heart that could have kept a GOOD person alive.
 
Too bad L. Cheney didn't win the Wyoming primary against Sen. Enzi.
Another DEM in a RED state bhuh ?
No, I tell the truth about Obama. I leave his family out of it.

Liz Cheney is a political animal. She has campaigned for national political office, she has been on numerous cable news networks as a "political commentator", and she has written numerous political opinion pieces for various newspapers. As such, people have a right to question her opinions, her commentary, and her conclusions publicly.

For crying out loud, you act as if she was 13 years old and some tv shock-jock compared her photo to one of an ugly dog and said the dog was better looking....

Oops, sorry, that was actually Rude Lintball talking about Chelsea Clinton when she was in 8th grade. I'm sure you were appropriately outraged at the time! :lol:
 
1.7 trillion dollars for a war, and all we got was a lousy t-shirt.

We could have 20 people living on the moon for that money.

Amazing how many people seem to think that if the U.S. had not invaded Iraq that everything would be wonderful in the Middle East today.

Have they forgotten

1) Saddam Hussein was responsible for the deaths of nearly TWO MILLION people (and yeah, I can provide a source on that)
2) Saddam Hussein had invaded two of his neighbors and launched ballistic missiles into four of them.
3) Saddam Hussein required near continuous U.S. patrolling to contain for TWELVE years

Plus

4) Saddam Hussein required at least three significant U.S. bombing campaigns in the 1990s to "contain".

5) Saddam Hussein continually attacked the Kurds in the north and the Shi'ites in the south of Iraq requiring the U.S. and British to provide near constant no fly zone protection.

How is that "stability"?

Certainly the biggest loser since George W Bush and Dick Cheney..

Yea yea yea we have heard all that before . The fact is that Iraqi's were better off under Sadaam and they hate us more than ever. Invading Iraq and killing Sadaam created ISIS which is much worse.
