(14,514 posts)By allowing Iran's centrifuges to go from 0 to 5,000, Cheney and his war crimes crowd were positioning the US for another war.
I mean, you guys KNOW how much Halliburton and the other profiteers made off the Iran deal, not to mention Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other sundry mid-Eastern countries.
Cheney was setting us up to create another cash cow for the MIC.
Thank you for pointing this out!

(2,672 posts)but bush and the State Department wanted a diplomatic approach instead. cheney, AIPAC, and the neocons were looking for ways around bush to invade Iran, even going so far as telling Israel to invade because if they did, it would give bush no choice but to follow.

b) Do you feel any shame at all seeing the dead little Syrian boy or
the story about those Syrians who died in the truck in Austria because they
were fleeing ISIS which was created by your war in Iraq?
Cheney should be in jail but we still have the swiftboating of HRC because
she used emails.

Cheney Presidential Memoir Heavy On Criticizing George W. Bush
RELATED: Cheney Announces Run for President, Promises Minimum of Two Wars
On the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks, Cheney's presidential memoir stated:
When the terrorists attacked America on 9/11 it was fortunate for America that King Meddler was reading the book 'My Pet Goat' so there would be no interference with the official response from our government - determined by me. I was the one who ordered commercial planes shot down, if necessary, while I made sure King Meddler flew on Air Force One from one God-forsaken place to another. That day marked the first day of my leadership of America from underneath the White House.

(2,574 posts)Throughout the Bush-Cheney Administration Iran's nuclear capabilities soared, not just the last 2 years.
Cheney even tried to weasel out during the interview, exploiting Fox's truncating of the time period & blaming it on Obama (2009) Rightfully Wallace shut him down on that typical Repub defense ('If it happened 2009, then it was Obama's fault" they've used
to justify all colossal messes their eight years of misgovernment left Obama.

(21,477 posts)I can't think of any. I marched against Vietnam in DC, then again 30 years later against the war in Iraq. Both were insane. Cheney is a cold blooded killer, a truly evil man, and a heartless (literally and figuratively) figure.

(5,106 posts)continue to be given so much coverage and book-selling publicity on what are supposedly serious news shows? Dick Cheney may well be the most hated man in the U.S., but he isn't worth the time to revile... until he starts showing up everywhere promoting his book and dissing the current POTUS. His absolute, delusional nerve is really without precedent.

(38,358 posts)Very very important..I am not sure, but, I think this has never before been done by Fox as far a Cheney is concerned.
..Yes, he did not call him a liar...but he came as close as one could..People watching that moment, know what Wallace was doing. I doubt Cheney knew it was coming, because Wallace followed up with questioning him a 2nd time, and correcting the lie...so, Cheney had to lie again.

(1,825 posts)...it is no surprise that it went from 0 to 5,000 centrifuges.
Obama intends to work with Iran, not against the country, so I expect his deal will meet with far more success.

Only in your mind, Dick..... like your entire administration. See you can make up your own reality, but it doesn't change real reality like you thought it would.
And since Bin Laden's attack on us, under your tenure, was such a big success and still is, and your wars were and are such a dismal failure, no one was, or is, scared of us.

(581 posts)to build so many centrifuges. They lost them memory on the Bush era and how he almost destroy America. The GOP think they are the savors of this nation, when they really are the destroyers. When will the voters understand the Republicans cannot have PEACE, but only war. They cannot negotiate a peace agreement, but just start wars. The GOP is incompetent at the highest.
The hate that Obama has done so well in his 2 terms are President. They continue to fight him to destroy any peace agreement, climate change agreement, etc. They hate that Obama can get all this done. The GOP has been a constant failure when in control of the USA. It taken 17 of them to run President for any chance to win in 2016. 17 incompetent Republicans running in 2016 and all will be failures.

(69,014 posts)The US does not invade non-nuclear nations.
Bush showed the world a little list called Axis of Evil. Iraq was on it. Iran was on it. Iraq got invaded, destroyed. HOW'S IT GOING, IRAQ? Iran shit in its pants.
The only sane way to prevent the invasion foretold by Bush's hit list was to become a nuke power. So that's what Iran tried to do.
This is our fault.

Bring the economy to the brink of collapse -- Obama's fault!!!!!
Lie us into an unnecessary war and keep it going long after it should have ended, and turn the whole thing into an ultimate clusterfuck -- yeah, Obama again!!!!!
They do this repeatedly; they blame the previous Democratic administration; when the Democrats bring the country out of recession, they take credit for the recovery.
