Why We Need to Prosecute Our Torturers
Thom plus logo
 
Just when you thought Republicans couldn't sink any lower, they ask Dick Cheney, the guy who screwed up Iraq, for advice on how to fix Iraq. Seriously, I'm not kidding.
 
On Tuesday afternoon, the former Vice President spoke to House Republicans at a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill, where he urged them to take a hard line in the fight against ISIS. The meeting was basically the GOP's version of a pep rally, and Cheney spent most of the time bashing "isolationists" and talking about how the Bush administration put the U.S. in a position to "win" in Iraq.
 
Naturally, of course, he said nothing about how everything that's going wrong in the Middle East right now can be tied back to the Bush administration.
 
According to the New York Times, "[Cheney] did not discuss the fact that many ISIS leaders were former Iraqi military officers who were imprisoned by American troops, nor did he dwell on the sectarian divisions and bloodletting since the 2003 American invasion."
 
Excuse me for a second while I go barf.
