Cheney Says He Urged Bush to Bomb Syria in ’07
August 25th, 2011Ahh, so that’s who Obombya is channeling…
Via: New York Times:
Former Vice President Dick Cheney says in a new memoir that he urged President George W. Bush to bomb a suspected Syrian nuclear reactor site in June 2007. But, he wrote, Mr. Bush opted for a diplomatic approach after other advisers — still stinging over “the bad intelligence we had received about Iraq’s stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction” — expressed misgivings.
“I again made the case for U.S. military action against the reactor,” Mr. Cheney wrote about a meeting on the issue. “But I was a lone voice. After I finished, the president asked, ‘Does anyone here agree with the vice president?’ Not a single hand went up around the room.”
Wowser, the NYT sure has a love on for Dick Cheney. Ever flattering of him. Just playing back what he writes. Never criticizing or challenging him even regarding torture.
This behaviour is rife with Ruperty Murdoch and Fox News mentality and is it disgusting to me that this self righteous, pompous, torturing, warmonging villian is given the time of day. But the NYT appears to give the time gladly.
Disgusting. Why pander to this creep?
And Dick, I hope you have MORE “prolonged, vivid dreams” where you a Muslim or from a nation that has oil, working as a servant in an Italian villa, pacing the stone paths to get coffee and newspapers, for all of the ghosta of people around the world that you have tortured and killed.
Even with your electric heart Dickie, you ain’t getting out of here alive. I’ll probably spend some time in hell too brother, but man you are going to be doing some time in the slammer.
