Showing Original Post only (View all)Megyn Kelly Confronts Dick Cheney,' You Got It Wrong on Iraq,' Talking Points Memo: [View all]

Fox News host Megyn Kelly confronted former Vice President Dick Cheney on Wednesday night about his own foreign policy track record in Iraq, arguing history proves he "got it wrong."
Cheney had co-authored a blistering Wall Street Journal op-ed with his daughter Liz that blasted President Barack Obama for failing to negotiate an agreement to leave a residual force behind in Iraq and accused him of willfully undermining American leadership abroad.
"Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many," they wrote.
"But time and time again, history has proven that you got it wrong as well in Iraq, sir," Kelly said. "You said there was no doubt Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. You said the Iraq insurgency was in the last throes, back in 2005. And you said that after our intervention extremists would have to 'rethink their strategy of jihad.'"
"Now with almost a trillion dollars spent there, with 4,500 American lives lost there, what do you say to those who say you were so wrong about so much at the expense of so many?" she asked.

Video has been posted at above site, if you desire to watch.. As we know, this asshole should be in jail, not being interviewed by anyone at any time. Let him rot forever, with his daughter who cannot even honestly pay for a fishing license..And yes, a set up, but someone did ask this question to the asshole...even Fox News watchers, who watch this shit, can see him lie...Maybe a few, just a few will wake up..maybe..

OP
So when the Fox jumps on the bandwagon, you know something foul is roaming the land.

If Ailes approved that question then, perhaps, he is sending out a trial baloon.

apropos of nothing, I adore your choice of the phrase "stalking horse." I've never before heard it.

I am wondering if the old style Republicans of the pre Goldwater are starting to make a comeback
