Seriously Mr. Cheney? Dick wants Hillary Clinton held "accountable" for #Benghazi

[kpete]

DICK:

“She was secretary of state at the time that it happened,” Cheney opined. “She was one of the first in Washington to know about it. I think she clearly bears responsibility for whatever the State Department did or didn’t do with respect to that crisis.”

Dick Cheney wants Hillary Clinton held "accountable" for #Benghazi
byVyanFollow

Well, here's one from the complete lack of irony and self-awareness column.

After the Pheonix FBI memo that noted a group of guys trying to learn to fly planes but not how to land them, after the August 6 PDB which named potential targets in New York and Washington and indicated that hijacked planes might be used as weapons, after taking information that was gained either by torture (ibn Sheik al-Libi) or bribery (Curveball) which falsely claimed inspectors couldn't find Iraq's WMD because it was being carted around in mobile labs and that Mohammad Atta had been trained by Iraqi intelligence on the use of chemical weapons, after warnings from CIA European Chief Tyler Drumheller that Curveball couldn't be trusted were ignored, after both the State Dept and CIA said that the yellowcake documents were forgeries, which was further proven after Joe Wilson went to Niger to check it out, after CIA told the White House repeatedly that the Niger/Yellowcake claim wasn't solid - but still the 16 words were uttered - after the Energy Dept in the Iraq NIE said that the anondyne coating on the aluminum tubes made them unsuitable for use in a centrifuge, after Cheney's own Chief of Staff fed classified and false information on Iraqi WMD to the New York Times using Judith Miller and then revealed to her the ID of an undercover CIA operative (Wilson's Wife, Valerie Plame) as "political pay-back" for Wilson's criticism on the White House, after the Iraqi UN declaration which specifically said they had no more WMD's - which then Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice ignored because it didn't explain what happened to the yellowcake(!?) - but was soon confirmed by the defecting head of Iraqi Intelligence Habbush who told us Saddam had destroyed his own WMD stockpile in 1991, yet instead of listening to him the WH - or someone whose perspective and goals were perfectly aligned with the WH - had him forge a letter which attempted to claim that all the lies about WMD, Nuclear Weapons and links between Atta/al Qeada to Saddam that were gained from the two people that couldn't and shouldn't be trusted, al-Libi and Curveball, were all "true"... and therefore the imminent invasion of Iraq was completely and totally "justified".

After all that Dick Cheney thinks that the person who needs to be held accountable for a deadly terrorist attack - is Hillary Clinton.

Yes, seriously.

1. Maybe Dickie C. could loan Hillary one of his many deferments

Since we know he does not do responsibility...

[George II]

8. I think finally his derferment for that anal cyst has gone to his head!

[pinto]

2. They just won't quit ginning this event for purely political purposes.

Aghh. Perhaps all the antics will eventually get them hoisted on their own petard.

[rocktivity]

3. Twitter doesn't allow enough characters

to list what Cheney should be held accountable for.


rocktivity

[calimary]

4. Well, let's look at YOU, then, dick.

Having another nice WAR CRIMINAL Sunday, dick?

And btw - WHO-THE-HELL CARES WHAT YOU THINK?????

[Faygo Kid]

5. Shameless. I marched in 2002-03, and it did no good.

A quarter million people were on the Mall, yet The Washington Post buried it at the bottom left corner of page A11.

We were right. Dick Cheney was wrong, and didn't care then or now. What an evil man.

[spanone]

6. this fuck is beyond the pale. why isn't he in shackles & chains?

[awoke_in_2003]

22. Because we had to move forward

[Iliyah]

7. Cheney has no conscience

over 60 American deaths from Embassies during his and W's watch. Over 2,500 American deaths from the WMD's - which was a outright lie in Iraq and over 100,000 deaths of it's people.

[Octafish]

9. First, let's hold Cheney accountable.

There are more than a million reasons why.

[A Simple Game]

10. Good idea Dick, though I think Hillary would be found not guilty without any problem. But

let's not stop there, let's use her trial as a starting point and move on to more serious violations that may have occurred in the recent past. You don't have a problem with that accountability do you Dick?

The nerve of this guy is unbelievable. That's what you get when you just "focus on the future" and don't deal with the past.

[flpoljunkie]

11. Time for Dick Cheney to be picked up and tried in the Hague for war crimes

Really, way past time.

[yeoman6987]

28. I wish we wouldn't use The Hague

There is no possible way to be prosecuted at The Hague. They do not have jurisdiction over anybody in the United States. Our House and Senate are the ONLY ones that can do anything. Oh the Attorney General can do something to, but if you want to see real action, the House and Senate must do something. The Hague can do NOTHING.

[nyabingi]

12. Why Darth Cheney is still free to walk around

making silly statements is beyond my comprehension.

He should have been tried before the ICC (along with the rest of Bush's regime) and imprisoned like the thug he is a long time ago.

[Jeneral2885]

14. They all get free

Bush, Cheney, Blair and the whole list of them.

Sad world.

[Jeneral2885]

13. and...

the memories of 9/11 fades from his mind....

[Generic Brad]

15. Well, shoot me in the face and blame me for not ducking!

He is a fine one to be talking about responsibility.

[lastlib]

16. The abject gall of that pile of shit never ceases to amaze me.

Neither does the stench of His Putridity.

[NuclearDem]

17. Now he's just doing it on purpose.

[napkinz]

18. ...

[tavernier]

19. That's rich.

The man has absolutely no remorse. Sign of a true sociopath.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Brings Chutzpa to a whole new level.

Let's see Dick. 9/11 warnings ignored. Lies about weapons of mass destruction.

Why is this guy still alive? I'm sure there were younger and more deserving recipients for a new heart.

[Rocknrule]

21. In other news, Ted Bundy decries the lawlessness of jaywalkers

[Doctor_J]

23. I would like to thank Pelosi for taking impeachment off the table in 2006,

and to the president for "turning the page". Dunno if they were stupid enough to believe the Repukes would play nice with them, or if they were bought off. Either way that was a really big fucking mistake.

[Terra Alta]

24. Sure thing, Dick

right after you and Dumbya are held responsible for ignoring warnings about 9/11, resulting in the deaths of over 3,000 Americans. Not to mention the war in Iraq which left thousands of American troops and countless Iraqis dead. And you want to whine about Benghazi? In your own words, go fuck yourself.

[Martin Eden]

25. What's most appalling

is that Dick Cheney is still listed to.

[Thinkingabout]

26. I think I read where Cheney had fallen, msybe Rove got his feet tangled up

And it is Cheney with the brain damage.

[nilram]

27. Should be a song, "Ground Control to Major Dick..."

And I do mean Major.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

29. Hopefully this will backfire at some point, but this is the

most perfect example of the pot calling the kettle black ever.

What do you think a good strategy for Hillary to employ?

Ignore totally? Take responsibility? Something else?
