Cheney hasn’t gotten this much attention since last time he went duck hunting; WH & Clinton rebut

BillMoyersHQ

Dick Cheney hasn’t gotten this much attention since the last time he went duck hunting. In a speech at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) ( http://billmoyers.us8.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=1d6affa204bd5a2af07918fe1&id=3e98a77901&e=897250dfe0 ) yesterday, the former US vice president and Halliburton CEO attacked the nuclear deal with Iran, called it “madness” and said the Obama administration had made “concession after concession after concession” in an “intricately crafted capitulation.” In a blistering rebuttal, the White House issued a two-and-a-half-minute video ( http://billmoyers.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1d6affa204bd5a2af07918fe1&id=f69be29de3&e=897250dfe0 ) reminding viewers of Cheney’s role in the 2003 invasion of Iraq and its ongoing, horrible consequences. AND, according to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Peter Baker and David E. Sanger at The New York Times report, ( http://billmoyers.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1d6affa204bd5a2af07918fe1&id=450b216dbc&e=897250dfe0 )“she and Mr. Obama succeeded where the Bush-Cheney administration failed by escalating pressure and forcing Tehran to the bargaining table — and on Wednesday she will outline a tougher stance to enforce the resulting deal.”
