wow finally someone on the right wing is calling Cheyney out and he's presumably one of the 2014-16 front runners, has Dick spoke one time too many or is this just a gratuitous endeavor by racist Rand?
Rand Paul has done something that will unify Democratic and Libertarian opinion, and set him aside from his Republican counterparts: he has vilified war-hawk Dick Cheney and the Bush Administration in their reasoning’s for invading Iraq. In a video which has been recently discovered by David Corn, a writer and associate for the popular Mother Jones, Senator Paul, sporting a nice sweater vest while speaking at Western Kentucky University, describes Cheney’s original opinion of Iraq in 1995, when he said that invading the Middle Eastern nation would be, “a disaster, it would be vastly expensive, it’d be civil war, we would have no exit strategy.”
Rand Paul reaches out with a popular message.
But, as everyone already knows, within due time and rising power in Halliburton, that tune would quickly change. An excerpt of the speech in which Paul blasts George Tenet and Richard Perle’s decision to invade Iraq, even though there was no clear connection, draws many of attitudes of dissatisfied voters.
“The day after 9/11, [CIA chief] George Tenet is going in the [White] House and [Pentagon adviser] Richard Perle is coming out of the White House. And George Tenet should know more about intelligence than anybody in the world, and the first thing Richard Perle says to him on the way out is, ‘We’ve got it, now we can go into Iraq.’ And George Tenet, who supposedly knows as much intelligence as anybody in the White House says, ‘Well, don’t we need to know that they have some connection to 9/11?’ And, he [Perle] says, ‘It doesn’t matter.’ It became an excuse. 9/11 became an excuse for a war they already wanted in Iraq.”
Paul also summed up what many liberal pundits, commentators and politicians have been saying for years regarding Vice President Cheney’s major conflict of interest regarding strategies in the ongoing War on Terror.
i really want to know what prompted this, i'm thinking Paul tea party darling and Cheyney and the boyz old school republicans and there is a civil war going on within the party so is this a prelude to a complete coup or damage control in case they are no longer the right wing voice, seems all that climbed the republican ladder after 2010 have encountered broken rungs and their only way to go is back down? btw Mr. Beohner where's the jobs promised in 2010?“But, you know, a couple hundred million dollars later Dick Cheney earns from Halliburton, he comes back into government. Now Halliburton’s got a billion-dollar no-bid contract in Iraq. You know, you hate to be so cynical that you think some of these corporations are able to influence policy, but I think sometimes they are. Most of the people on these [congressional] committees have a million dollars in their bank account all from different military industrial contractors. We don’t want our defense to be defined by people who make money off of the weapons.”
