Dick Cheney:
"I guess my general sense of where we are with respect to Iraq and at
the end of now, what, nearly six years, is that we've accomplished
nearly everything we set out to do...."
What has Dick Cheney really accomplished in Iraq?
Cheney
avoids mentioning all the human suffering he has caused, on a cosmic
scale, and focuses on procedural matters like elections (which he
confuses with democracy-- given 2000 in this country, you can
understand why). Or he lies, as when he says that Iran's influence in
Iraq has been blocked. Another lie is that there was that the US was
fighting "al-Qaeda" in Iraq as opposed to just Iraqis. He and Bush even
claim that they made Iraqi womens' lives better.
The real question is whether anyone will have the gumption to put Cheney on trial for treason and crimes against humanity.
