(5,275 posts)He has been a war criminal and profiteer, pure and simple.
Too bad nobody kidnapped him to drop him off at The Hague.
If we had a real functioning MSM there would have been no Iraq War.....instead we had MSM cheerleaders and so off we went to "shock and awe" and a debt adding up to trillions and so many dead or maimed.

(2,672 posts)If Obama had gone after bush war criminals, he never would have been able to expand on bush's war powers. He hired Holder to protect the interests of wall st big banks and corporations, Halliburton falls into the category of a protected corporation.
Some countries will prosecute bush's war criminals if they place foot on their territories. That's why they feel so comfortable staying here in the good soiled USA.

"That decade of not policing the world ended with 9/11," he wrote.
Well, sure... except for, you know, an entire war known as "Operation Desert Storm." Or... umm... military interventions, missile strikes, and/or bombings in Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sudan, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Kristol didn't entirely ignore those military actions, but rather, dismissed them as "weak" -- i.e., not initiated by a Republican (save Desert Storm)? 2013
In October 2008, Kristol urged McCain/Palin to ramp up the Ayers-related attacks against Obama. Less than a week later, Kristol was on TV chiding the GOP for running a stupid and pathetic" campaign because the attacks havent worked and the McCain ticket is doing things that dont work and they keep doing them."
If [Hillary Clinton] gets a race against John Edwards and Barack Obama, shes going to be the nominee. Gore is the only threat to her, then.
Barack Obama is not going to beat Hillary Clinton in a single Democratic primary. Ill predict that right now. William Kristol, Fox News Sunday, Dec. 17, 2006
In 2006, Kristol told Charlie Rose that "we are at risk of a sectarian civil war [in Iraq], and Im extremely worried about that. I dont quarrel about that." And even though that proved to be correct, within a year later, Kristol went ahead and directly contradicted himself: "Were not in a civil war. This is just not true. American troops are attacking al Qaeda.
In late 2005, Kristol made the bold prediction that Nancy Pelosi just ceded the House to the Republicans by endorsing an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. He claimed that her actions would likely prevent a "Speaker Pelosi" from happening [emphasis added]:
"We are tempted to comment, in these last days before the war, on the U.N., and the French, and the Democrats. But the war itself will clarify who was right and who was wrong about weapons of mass destruction. 2003
In the early 90's, Kristol told Larry King that '93 would be the high water mark of the gay rights movement, and that it was all downhill from there."

(182,626 posts)I was eating with two older co-workers. Snide like jokes about this and that (the source for everything was "I heard on the radio..." and finally a comment about the Iran Deal.
I didn't snap I just said " you have to consider the source of these criticisms and their track record. They've never been right about ANYTHING".
"excuse me?!?" The older gentleman said
"anything" I repeated

Older guy "there WERE weapons in Iraq"
I interrupt "No there weren't"

(50,983 posts)See, these fuckers are deeply brainwashed after years of listening to Fox "News".
None of the media has really held the Bush Administration player's feet to the fire for their Iraq sins. This is what happens when we "Look Forward".

(18,652 posts)"Obama is just giving our enemy Iran nuclear weapons!"
I said (quietly, b/c I was at my friend's party), "That's a bit of an oversimplification."
She: "I DON'T CARE!!!!"
I moved my seat at that point, saying, "You are rude" as I left.

(55,745 posts)News: As Bush Sr.'s secretary of defense, Dick Cheney steered millions of dollars in government business to a private military contractor -- whose parent company just happened to give him a high-paying job after he left the government.
By Robert Bryce
Mother Jones
August 2, 2000
EXCERPT...
In 1992, the Pentagon, then under Cheney's direction, paid Texas-based Brown & Root Services $3.9 million to produce a classified report detailing how private companies -- like itself -- could help provide logistics for American troops in potential war zones around the world. BRS specializes in such work; from 1962 to 1972, for instance, the company worked in the former South Vietnam building roads, landing strips, harbors, and military bases. Later in 1992, the Pentagon gave the company an additional $5 million to update its report. That same year, BRS won a massive, five-year logistics contract from the US Army Corps of Engineers to work alongside American GIs in places like Zaire, Haiti, Somalia, Kosovo, the Balkans, and Saudi Arabia.
After Bill Clinton's election cost Cheney his government job, he wound up in 1995 as CEO of Halliburton Company, the Dallas-based oil services giant -- which just happens to own Brown & Root Services. Since then, Cheney has collected more than $10 million in salary and stock payments from the company. In addition, he is currently the company's largest individual shareholder, holding stock and options worth another $40 million. Those holdings have undoubtedly been made more valuable by the ever-more lucrative contracts BRS continues to score with the Pentagon.
Between 1992 and 1999, the Pentagon paid BRS more than $1.2 billion for its work in trouble spots around the globe. In May of 1999, the US Army Corps of Engineers re-enlisted the company's help in the Balkans, giving it a new five-year contract worth $731 million.

"Obamacare will not work and will push millions out of jobs."
I don't have links that Cheney said these things above, but I'd be willing to bet that he did since he's always on the leading edge of "wrong".
