Refuting Dick

"It's still difficult. Obviously, major, major work to do is ahead of us. But the fact is, the world is better off today with Saddam Hussein out of power. Think where we'd be if he was still there." Cheney said this morning on Meet the Press. (Video here, courtesy of the true patriots over at Crooks and Liars.)

Okay. I'll pick up that challenge. Iraq would still be a "stable" secular Arab nation. 2,662 Americans would not be have died in Iraq. The war in Afghanistan could have been properly prosecuted and the Taliban might have stayed routed, rather than falling back and regrouping to strengths greater than they had before.

Yeah. What a mess it would be. Thank the powers that be that W and his handlers rushed headlong into a war predicated on lies and phony, fabricated intelligence that we have no exit from.

Somebody put that fat fuck on a horse, tie his hands behind his back, put a rope around his neck and tie it over a tree branch and then slap the horse on the ass. Either that or send his ass to the Hague. Whichever comes first, I will rejoice.
