Cheney: Iraq war ’saved lives.’By Ali Frick on Jun 1st, 2009 at 6:00 pm Cheney: Iraq war ’saved lives.’
Speaking this afternoon at the National Press Club, Cheney vigorously defended the Bush administration’s national security policies, including the decision to go to war in Iraq, which he rhetorically linked to 9/11 over and over. He also declared that the Iraq war “saved lives”:

CHENEY: The problem we were faced with in the aftermath of 9/11 was the possibility of another 9/11-style attack, only with much deadlier technology, a 9/11 with nukes or biological agents of some kind. That concern drove a lot of our thinking in that period, in those months after 9/11. … I think it was a sound decision to make. I think it was an important part of our overall strategy in the Global War on Terror. I think it saved lives.

Watch it:

Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction. He had no links to al Qaeda. And the Iraq war has resulted in the deaths of more than 4,300 American soldiers and roughly 100,000 Iraqis.

Cheney should be talking about how many lives were NOT SAVED! Thousands of innocent civilians and our soldiers, and for what?
Why was there an invasion in Iraq when all along…it was a known fact that Osama was in Afghanastan. Answer those questions Cheney…naturally, you will have some cockamania answers that are totally false.

oo thanks good

10 . . . that’s right . . . you strive to avoid possibilities . . . unlike Clinton who did absolutely nothing and gave us the certainty of 3,000 dead Americans on Sep 11 . . .

Now here is a true nut case. 9-11 is now Clintons fault even though Bush had been in office for 9 months and in august had a security report that said in big bold letters Al Quida going to attack within the United States and did absolutely nothing. Gotta love these idiots. Keep shrinking the republican party. Also if their is anything I can do to help you, let me know.

the libs are against usa

And this is coming from a teabagger who claims to love America but in reality wants to secede from it??? You are an assclown. STFU!

Imagine that Cheney uses the events of 9/11 as his base line of fear…
… Now imagine that in Iraq, they have had the equivalent of over 40 TIMES our 9/11 in the cost of human lives in their own “HOMELAND”.

.

Wha?

Whose? Where?

Certainly not in Iraq. And most certainly not the lives of countless Iraqi who died since the invasion.

Not only it didn’t save lives, it hasn’t even bettered living conditions of Iraqis or made the US safer.

Iraq war = over 154,000 dead and counting, with a price tag of over a trillion dollars and counting, a weakened US military, weakened our strength as a country, created more enemies, has made us less safe, destroyed our moral compass.

Priceless…

So again Dick, how exactly did the Iraq war save lives? Do you have any proof of this or are you talking out of your evil a$$ again? We now know for a fact that Iraq didn’t have WMD’s, the chemical weapons we sold Saddam back in the 80’s were now worthless, so Dick, again how exactly did the Iraq war save lives you miserable, evil little phuck!

Cost of the illegal war in Iraq $675 billion, and counting.
Add to the cost of the war in Afghanistan and the total is
an astonishing $907 billion.

At least there is hope that the GM bailout will eventually pay off.

Dick Chenney is a WAR CRIMINAL. He must be prosecuted for War Crimes.
