Weasels Rally With Dark Dick Cheney as War Drums Thunder

He's baaaaaaaaaaaaack ... duck! What duck????


Just as war chants erupt in DC, guess who pops back up like a whack-a-mole?  Yep – old DARK DICK himself.

With war in Iraq (and other places perhaps) suddenly back in style, Richard Bruce Cheney met with House Republicans to basically bash President Obama and his foreign policy and to stump for more defense spending, just as the President prepares his statement to public (Wed night, Sep 10, 2014 - which ironically is one day short of the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in NYC, on the Pentagon, and the ill-aimed flight that crashed in Shanksville, PA (when passengers overtook the hijackers and saved perhaps the White House as their 4th target). 

Cheney’s visit marked a sort of coming out party for Republican hawks, who polls show are rapidly gaining support among GOP voters after years in which the non-interventionists, led by Cheney’s nemesis, Rand Paul, had the momentum.

How was his visit, you wonder? “It was a great message – and something we needed to hear and hopefully it sticks with a lot of my colleagues who kind of had this creep towards isolationism,” said Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL). “Hopefully this is an awakening that we have to be very strong and very serious.”

Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) told The Daily Beast that Cheney accused Obama of “facilitating the Muslim Brotherhood,” the Islamic movement that won elections in Egypt only to be deposed by the military.

CNN reports that Cheney dinged Mr. Obama for not demanding the U.S. leave a residual force behind while negotiating a withdrawal with the Iraqi government (this is laughable since Bush-Cheney made that deal with Iraq – basically no SOFA agreement for U.S. Forces to be left behind – thus Mr. Obama followed their timeline).  

In a word: Mr. Cheney is one sick old bastard whose time has long passed, so please go back to WY and just STFU. Please, for the sake of our national sanity, just get out of our collective face.
