Speaking to a crowd of Republicans recently, former Vice
President Dick Cheney said that the Obama administration has been the worst in
70 years. He told them
he expected the Iranian nuclear negotiations to fail and argued that America's
traditional allies in the region have “all lost faith and confidence” in
the U.S.
This
is not an April Fools Day joke. I don’t think. This is the everyday foolishness
spewed by the war criminal Cheney. He and his little lapdog Bush lied to the
American people to gain support for war, illegally invaded Iraq, had no
post-war plan, incited long-time rivals to war with each other, inspired the
creation of ISIS, gave Saudi Arabia a pass although all but two of the 9/11
hijackers were from that country, lost billions of dollars in Iraq, broke
international laws by torturing people, began the drone program, created the
Patriot Act and Homeland security, which flung the door wide open to illegal
mass surveillance, and then handed this hot mess over to Obama in 2008.
And
Cheney has the audacity to claim that the Obama Administration is the worst in
70 years. Cheney and Bush and others should be in prison for war crimes, not
running around the country trying to salvage their nightmarish legacy by
shifting the blame to others. It’s like Hermann Goering traveling around
Germany after WWII blaming the devastation of Europe on the allies. And, as an
aside, Goering was a decorated fighter pilot during WWI, not a cowardly draft
dodger like Cheney who was more than willing to send Americans to die in the
Middle East.
Cheney,
Bush and their merry band of neocons are evidently too big to jail, despite
their horrendous crimes.
Justice
is blind in America. Ha, April fools.
