Dick And Liz Cheney Pretend They Never Had A Thing To Do With Iraq's Chaos

I realize facts don't matter to evil ghouls like Cheney, but credit for the rise of ISIS can be laid right on his doorstep.

Iraq provides terrorists with "a training ground, a recruitment ground, the opportunity for enhancing technical skills," said David B. Low, the national intelligence officer for transnational threats. "There is even, under the best scenario, over time, the likelihood that some of the jihadists who are not killed there will, in a sense, go home, wherever home is, and will therefore disperse to various other countries."

Low's comments came during a rare briefing by the council on its new report on long-term global trends. It took a year to produce and includes the analysis of 1,000 U.S. and foreign experts. Within the 119-page report is an evaluation of Iraq's new role as a breeding ground for Islamic terrorists.


And that's before al-Maliki took the reins and shut out the Sunnis entirely from any participation or voice in government.
