Dick Cheney says the administration’s Democratic critics are ‘dishonest’ and ‘reprehensible’ for making entirely supportable assertions that this administration lied us into war.
I’ll tell you what’s dishonest and reprehensible.
It’s dishonest to withhold crucial caveats from intelligence information in order to get the American public to support the invasion, occupation, and failed state creation which has occurred in Iraq.
It’s reprehensible to advocate the use of torture against our enemies.
It’s dishonest for his chief of staff to lie about blowing Joe Wilson’s wife’s cover.
It’s reprehensible that he was involved in an administration which engaged in torture in eastern Europe, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cuba, and God knows where else.
It’s dishonest for the administration to tell us that they “know where the WMD are” in Iraq.
It is reprehensible that we used “incendiary” (read - chemical) weapons in civilian areas in Iraq.
While the Democrats were responsible for giving the Republicans political cover to wage an unjust war in Iraq, even that does not rise to the level of “dishonest” and “reprehensible” behavior engaged in by this administration - to this very day.
