I don't recall a former President or Vice President being so publicly and intentionally critical of sitting President EVER.

Cheney's column in the Wall Street Journal is really unprecedented.

Maybe they should have an old-fashioned duel. We can't lose either way.

Yeah yeah, Obama's an idiot. But this?

The fall of the Iraqi cities of Fallujah, Tikrit, Mosul and Tel Afar, and the establishment of terrorist safe havens across a large swath of the Arab world, present a strategic threat to the security of the United States.



I get that our "gains" were hard-fought. Unfortunately, they are doomed to be eternally costly to maintain as well. frick it.

Seems to me I remember Obama and other Dem officials prior to him, having no problem going outside country criticizing a GOP President.

I'll tell you what's unprecedented, is the constant b!^thcin and moaning by a sitting President about his predecessor.

No class whatsoever.

Five responses in on a Cheney thread and no use of the word "Halliburton."

Cheney is a lethal wordsmith; that's why the Left has to trash him with the 'Haliburton/no WMDs' bs. I'm glad that he remains a thorn in their sides.

Once again Cheney tried to jump out ahead of criticism that is obviously coming his way. It is defense by offense. He knows he fricked up. They all know.

I'm torn on this. On the one hand I hate that all the hard work our men and women have done there has gone to utter shite, especially from so little effort (the Iraqi military far outnumbered the ISIS folks, apparently many were just there for the paycheck).

On the other hand, we gave them all the tools to stand up on their own. We can't be holding their hands forever. If you want freedom badly enough, you fricking fight for it. Along with this point, I am so incredibly tired of the world counting on us to not only be the World Police (America, frick YEAH!) but also because those that we help often end up depending on us to keep propping them up.

Sometimes I feel like our leaders suffer from battered spouse syndrome on this. We do everything we can to make the other side better, but eventually they shite on us. Yet we still want to keep going back because maybe one day... ONE DAY... things will be good again.

Our leaders need a fricking intervention.

My opinion? A better word would be "classless."

He is truly the hatchet man he has been described to be.

Hmm. Then you don't remember the bush years. Were you drunk and high the whole time, or just not paying attention?

When it comes to foreign policy, if Dick Cheney criticizes you, it probably means you're doing the right thing.
