Blam-Blam and his little Squirt, the most important Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs in our nation’s history, maybe ever Liz Cheney wrote an editorial: here’s an excerpt –
Those who say the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was a mistake are essentially saying we would be better off if Saddam Hussein were still in power. That’s a difficult position to sustain. It is undisputed, and has been confirmed repeatedly in Iraqi government documents captured after the invasion, that Saddam had deep, longstanding, far-reaching relationships with terrorist organizations, including al Qaeda and its affiliates. It is undisputed that Saddam’s Iraq was a state based on terror, overseeing a coordinated program to support global jihadist terrorist organizations. Ansar al Islam, an al Qaeda-linked organization, operated training camps in northern Iraq before the invasion. Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the future leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, funneled weapons and fighters into these camps, before the invasion, from his location in Baghdad. We also know, again confirmed in documents captured after the war, that Saddam provided funding, training, and other support to numerous terrorist organizations and individuals over decades, including to Ayman al Zawahiri, the man who leads al Qaeda today.
It is also undisputed that Saddam Hussein had the technology, equipment, facilities, and scientists in place to construct the world’s worst weapons. We know he intended to reconstitute these programs as soon as the international sanctions regime collapsed. He had an advanced nuclear program in place prior to Operation Desert Storm in 1991. In 1998, he kicked the international weapons inspectors out of Iraq. He violated every one of the 17 U.N. Security Council Resolutions passed against him.
So, since we know that Bush/Cheney kicked out the UN inspectors in real life, is it too much to speculate that they also committed all the other things SH is accused of in this piece?
I know that is not how BS works, but it is how projection works.

When Cheney finally dies, I’m having a steak (because he loves/d steak). I hope that then the entire wretched family disappears.

Yeah, we would have been better off concentrating on getting out of Afghanistan, rather than spending $3 Trillion and untold casualties (“we don’t do body counts”) on a neocon wet dream.
Here’s the thing Dick needs to be told every time he dares pipe up: By invading Iraq, you accomplished all of Bin Laden’s goals, and then some.

I could only stomach the excerpt, and I could only stand to read it once, but did Liz write even one sentence that was 100% true? I didn’t notice any. That bitch is a waste of oxygen.
