Cheney Says Iraq Would Be Stable If He Were Still President

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Harshly criticizing the current occupant of the White House, Dick Cheney told reporters on Wednesday, “Iraq would be stable today if I were still President.”

“ISIS is a problem that President Obama has made possible,” Cheney said during a press conference on Capitol Hill. “I never would have let that happen when I was Commander-in-Chief.”

He said that he would listen to President Obama’s speech on Wednesday night about destroying the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham, but admitted that he was not expecting much. “Quite frankly, whenever President Obama talks about Iraq he sounds delusional,” he said.

Cheney does not live in the real world. In his imaginary world, the invasion of Iraq was a good idea

We all know Bush the Lesser was vacant but didn't he have the title President? Near the end even Bush had a clear distance from that maniacal criminal Cheney. Not that Bush the Lesser did not instigate criminality and delusion, Cheney ranks among the greatest War Criminals of all time and in the end was almost confined.
