Cheney unprecedented attack on Obama---really strong criticism of President

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

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

quote:

---

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.

quote:

---

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

---

Ever? Come Jimmy Carter publicly criticizing Bush wasn't that long ago.

Carter and Clinton both crossed the line multiple times in their attacks on President Bush. That said it doesn't excuse former VP Cheney, they should all take a seat and be quiet like both former Bush Presidents.

That fricking criminal is one to talk.

You calling Cheney a criminal??????

how stupid

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.

POS should be tried for war crimes.

Well...why not just try the whole damn Military, just like the Nazis who carried out murderous orders from the top. Point your fingers at all the scarred and maimed soldiers who *believed* that they fought for all those folks over there, to be FREE from the rape and humiliation of a family of ruthless despots who had WMD's, used em' on their own...and hated us for kickin' their asses out of Kuwait.

And our finest who sacrificed, but celebrated all those 'purple fingers' when they got their first vote. Or made friends with those poor kids over there.

This 'war crimes' stuff pisses me off, but is par for the lying-assed, Alinskyite tactic of smearing anybody that don't buy their mind-warped Authoritarian/Progressive ideology. Islamists brethren, no less; just a different color.

Anybody that ain't in the above category, ought to drop this bs right now; it denigrates the honorable service of the soldiers who fought to liberate that nation. None of us realized - then - what we know now. Such being that it is existentially impossible for Democracy to exist in a Nation that is Muslim. Their 'Book'...nullifies any such scenario. And the suicidal Fundamentalist will sink the whole ship in defense/promotion of that Book/Prophet.

We learned a hard lesson, for the right reason. Let it go. Or be guilty of the same thing you paint Cheney and those who gave this 'compassionate warfare/win hearts and minds policy a legit shot. Being wrong...for a reason you believe to be right.
