Dick Cheney on Ukraine: Mistake to Take Military Options Off the Table
by Evan McMurry | 11:30 am, March 9th, 2014

Former Vice President Dick Cheney told Face the Nation guest host Charlie Rose that the Obama administration should not have taken military options off the table in response to Russia’s invasion of the Crimean peninsula, and that Obama had a harder task in gathering allies after reversing course on attacks in Syria.

“I worry when we begin to address the crisis, the first thing we do is take options off the table,” Cheney said. “In the sense of saying ‘no military.’ [Obama] seems to operate that way most of the time. There are military options that don’t involve putting groups on the ground in Crimea.”

Cheney suggested restarting work on ICBM missle defense systems in Poland and the Czech Republic, which the U.S. shelved a few years ago in a concession to Russia, as well as joint military exercises in the region, and offering equipment and training to Ukrainian forces.

1. Could they possibly find a less credible source on foreign policy than Dick Cheney?

I hate that our media still tries to pretend this guy has an opinion that is worth considering, the guy is responsible for what may be the worst foreign policy disaster in our nation's history yet people still think we want to hear his opinion on how to conduct foreign policy.

11. Our media is

big on promoting RWers who are no longer relevant in general, whether it's him, Ted Nugent, Donald Trump, or Sarah Palin. None of them have did much recently, yet we still see them on places like CBS, CNN, and FOX. I'm actually surprised that CBS didn't also look for Bush ll to talk about this crisis.

[Frank Cannon]

25. GWB is NEVER asked to be on these shows.

He's the crazy aunt the Republicans keep locked in the attic with his doll.

[Cha]

28. Maybe bush? The US m$m corporatate media

is one of the worst enemies America has.

[librechik]

2. Doesn't anybody ever feed that thing?

he should be locked in a dark room with nothing but war movie videos, a missile sized vibrator, and a virgin blood IV.

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. Whose to say he isn't kept that way.

then dusted off for his war monger speeches, to keep Halliburton stock high.

[TomClash]

3. "Offering equipment and training" and "Joint military exercises"

It's never been done before. His creativity is really impressive.

Brilliant options that bring us closer to war with a nuclear power! That's just . . . Rad!

[Johonny]

4. Cheney apparently can't remember his own response to Putin's invasion of Georgia

It would be worth having them on TV if they played by the same rules and gave the same advice when their party was in power, but since they don't give a crap about American and only care about "power" their opinion is worthless.

[Live and Learn]

30. +1 nt

[Tsiyu]

5. Why is this criminal even consulted?

There is no war this man doesn't get a woody for.

He seems to thrive on thinking of mass chaos and violence and death, as long as HE never has to fight in one himself.

He has no shame.

And more $$$$$$$$$$ for him and his MIC cronies would be his only motive here

[question everything]

7. For his captive smile?

Is there a piece of land on our globe where he and McCain do not wish to invade?

[Tsiyu]

13. Nope

Can you imagine how sick and twisted his mind is?

He knows what he did in Iraq, all the death and destruction and pain and sorrow. Both to the Iraqis and to our own troops.

But that wasn't enough blood and maimed bodies and devastation for him in his lifetime. He wants to leave this earth knowing that there is more of it every day. That more people die, more soldiers die, more babies are dismembered, more people's homes and businesses and lives are destroyed. There is noever enough horror for him to consume like the sociopath he has always been. Because $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

CHENEY IS A MONSTER. If there really was a devil, he would look EXACTLY like Dick Cheney.

I have wished the worst sorts of nightmares and suffering on that man. I know of few people who deserve it more.

[Stargazer09]

6. Gah!

Why is he still in our lives???

He's like a ghoul that won't stay buried.

[nyquil_man]

9. "We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." nt

[bemildred]

10. Derp. nt

[okaawhatever]

12. Has Obama even said all military options were off the table? I know he is using it as a last, last

resort, but I don't recall him saying anything to that effect.

[TwilightGardener]

14. John Kerry said "all options on table" last week. Nobody would ever declare

flatly that military force will never be used in any given situation--that would be a green light for nutjobs everywhere.

[okaawhatever]

19. that's what I thought, so basically just more lies from Cheney. Thx nt

[CanonRay]

15. Let's just give the whole war contract to Haliburton

let them handle the whole shebang this time...why have the government as a middleman.

[Rex]

16. Hmmm...I think I see his oil port intake.

The man is a living Death Machine. He speaks in disgusting sound bites about 'sacrifice' yet never has to... it is always us little people that die instead in war.

[redstatebluegirl]

17. His Halliburton Stock Needs a Boost

This nut is a war monger because he personally benefits from war.

[treestar]

18. This just proves he loves war

There's no reason for our involvement. In Syria at least the guy was using chemical weapons. Here, it's just an argument over whether Ukraine joins the EU or stays under Russia's thumb. Does that really make a big difference to us?

Can't Halliburton make money off this war anyway? I would think they could sell their crap to either or both sides here.

[blue neen]

20. What is that band-aid on his head?

Is that where the steam escapes?

[adirondacker]

21. Horn removal. nt

[Jefferson23]

22. lol

[blue neen]

31. OMG!

Classic!

[rdharma]

26. An old lawyer shot him in a dove hunting accident. nt

[Thinkingabout]

27. It could be from his friend he shot while drunk or it may be scrappings from the bottom of the

Barrel where he resides.

[Jefferson23]

23. He is an idiot who helped to bring torture and lies that killed 200,000 people in Iraq alone.

This makes him the ideal go to person in the US MSM to ask for a consultation on the Ukraine.

Face the Nation, you should go back to journalism school...fucking tools.

[Matariki]

24. One wonders if he and his ilk are actually even human

or if they are just very, very broken.

[spanone]

29. Cheney says he is thankful for his new heart, but doesn't spend much time thinking about the person

Cheney says he is thankful for his new heart, but doesn't spend much time thinking about the person who donated the vital organ to him.

of course he doesn't. fuck you dick.

[malaise]

32. I wish thatvwar criminal of a Dick

would do the planet a favor and croak!
