In recent days, as the situation in Iraq has deteriorated, you haven't been able swing a dead cat without hitting one of the architects or cheerleaders of the war in Iraq, in front of a TV camera, declaring that President Obama had snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And today, it's former Vice President Dick Cheney's turn, penning an op-ed (with the help of his second draft deferment, Liz) in the Wall Street Journal:
Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.Let's replay just a few of Cheney's greatest hits:
- "And he [Saddam Hussein] is actively pursuing nuclear weapons at this time." (March, 2002)
- "I think it will go relatively quickly. Weeks rather than months." (March, 2003)
- "My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators." (March, 2003)
- "I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency." (July, 2005)
