In direct opposition to this 1994 statement, Dick Cheney was a primary catalyst for the 2003 Iraq debacle. Pundits and people living in perpetual denial, far outside the realms of reality -- like Karl Rove -- will attempt to claim that what was true about invading Iraq before September 11, 2001 was no longer true after September 11.
Anyone watching the video of Dick Cheney's 1994 statements can see the truth of what he said then as it materializes in the quagmire we have now. The pundits and the enablers, the collaborators and complicit Congressional representatives, are instantly discredited.
Eight years of the Republican control of the three branches of government -- an out of control Executive protected by Republican Congressfolk and investigations derailed, denied and thwarted by a complicit Department of Justice -- have brought our nation to economic, social, moral and intellectual disaster.
That's not something that the GOP can lay at the feet of anyone else. The facts really are clear -- and they have a decidedly "liberal" bias.
This is an Open Thread.
