When House Republicans invited Dick Cheney to come dispense wisdom to their members, it was clear what they were going to get. They got it.
Former vice-president Dick Cheney met behind closed doors with Republican members of Congress on Tuesday to urge them to adopt a more muscular military posture in the Middle East. [...] Cheney did not address the specifics of any military involvement in the Middle East, according to several people present at the meeting, which took place in the Capitol Hill Club and was open to all House Republicans.
But he decried what Republicans perceive to be president Barack Obama’s “weakness”, said legislators should boost military spending and provided a neo-conservative analysis of the conflict embroiling the Middle East.
So he doesn't have any particular ideas other how that Obama is "weak" and that we need to be doing something more bomb-ish or invasion-ish. This is the man who, along with a select set of other Wrongest People in America, is most directly responsible for setting forces in motion that created ISIS, but for some reason he gets a pass on that one. Why is that?
Asked if he saw any irony in Cheney coming to talk to Republicans about next steps in Iraq, [Rep. Peter King] said firmly, "No, because most of us think we did the right thing in Iraq."
this is the group that wants to lead America they have no plans for anything the criticize Pres. say he's leading from behind, he doesn't understand and in the wake of the middle east affairs they call a greedy war criminal to tell them what to do?  what did he say to do after you lie to everybody protect the oil fields for Haliburton?  really they call the real worst VP ever to tell them what to do after months of telling us how incapable Pres. is and almost half the people want to vote for them a hail Cheyney, these are the ones who need to be deported.
