    Since Cheney has been spewing on and on about the Iran deal, the White House released a nice video. Makes the point.

    They don't even mention that North Korea got nukes under Bush/Cheney policies too.

    It's a very good deal and Iran will abide by it, right until the moment when they won't.

    How many International agreements were broken by Iran... Twenty? :wall:

    Great seeing that stuff, Cheney has more Blood on his hands from his Halliburton War Profits then anybody I can think of. He and Bush allowed 9/11/2001 to happen and thousands of Americans are killed on American soil and all the GOP and their supporters can concentrate on is 4 Americans killed in Benghazi, which in itself was horrible, but not even a FRACTION as bad as that terrible day in New York and it could have possibly been prevented had they listened to intelligence reports that a terrorist attack was being planned.

    Clinton allowed it to happen. He had Bin Laden and let him go.

    Your article just supports the last clip in the White House video, Cheney only wants war with Iran. The man is a bloodthirsty warmonger. He was wrong then, and he is wrong now.

    Watch the video interview of Cheney in 1994 saying that it was foolish to attack Iraq because it would destabilize the whole region.. I have posted it a couple of times.

    "'I don't look at it as that we got it so wrong,' Cheney says in a 2009 clip when pressed by CBS' Bob Schieffer.

    "To a point from ABC News' Martha Raddatz in 2008 that two-thirds of Americans say that the Iraq war is not worth fighting for, Cheney says with a smirk, 'So?'"
    http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/white-house-dick-cheney-video
    So the UN predicts 850,000 refugees are expected to flee the violence in 2015-16 that Dick the Draft Dodger helped launch in 2003. If only the rich war whores like Smirk were required to fund resettlement efforts, or settle their rich, white families in Fallujah.

    I don't blame Bush for 9/11. The scale and scope of the attack was literally inconcievable.

    I do blame them entirely for everything that happened afterwards, especially the disasterous and unnecessary war in the wrong country which destablalized an entire region and was the root cause of the rise of ISIS.

    There's a long list of other things they are responsible for, including a major role in creating the conditions that led to the biggest financial collapse in nearly a century.

    And the Bush Adminstration was one of the most blatantly corrupt Adminstration in US history, on a scale not seen since the Harding Adminstration or the second Grant Adminnstration And why not? The Vice President was being paid more by Halliburton, than he was by the taxpayer. So, he arranged a no bid contract for them to steal their way across Iraq, and then made sure that there was little oversight and no accountability, while his former employer stole billions from said taxpayer. That set the tone for the Savavians, Griles, etc,

    No, but that was one thing that Cheney was right about. Too bad he didn't take his own advice.

    Cheney was hired by Haliburton to lobby his Washington contacts to lift sanctions against Iran, Iraq, Libya and the stans.. He failed with the exception of Libya.. That's why he changed his mind and pushed for war on Iraq.

    I read Cheney's longwinded rant in the Wall Street Journal a couple of weeks ago,

    He went right down the AIPAC talking points and even envoked the tried old Munich analogy.

    It was sad.

    I see a lot of conservates have decided that it's clever to say that Iran will honor the deal right up till the moment we all see a bright flash in the sky.

    OK, so we have no deal at all (which seems to be the right wing preference), and you get to see the same flash a lot sooner. That's the real alternative.

    But it was the same situation in 2003 still and making a criminal attack backed on 100% lies is for sure the best solution to stabilize the region more! The result we see all ...

    He could have signed an executive order forcing US intelligence agencies to coordinate and share data instead of hoarding it and competing with each other.

    I believe the Clinton administration created that wall, but I could be wrong. Clinton ignored bin laden's declaration of war, and he was ineffectual in his reactions to attacks on our people during the 1990's Bush worried more about threats from China than he did terrorists. Bush and Clinton could have done many things they didn't Hindsight is wonderful.
