GWB and Powell are probably the only two from that administration who can manage to actually demonstrate humanity. There's no way Cheney even bothers. He knows what he is.
In the land of Burger, in the fires of Mount Reagan, the Dark Lord Cheney forged, in secret, a Master Presidency to control all others. And into this Presidency he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Presidency to rule them all.
Rumsfeld called into Opie and Anthony years ago, and for eight minutes refused to give Louis C.K. a straight answer as to whether or not he was a lizard person.
Dick Cheney is the most chad human male in existence. His own heart cannot kill him, even after three or four attempts. His manliness is so potent that when his wife bore him a daughter his daughter decided dicks were gay. Dick Cheney shot a man in the face, and that man apologized for being in the way. Every man should aspire to be Dick Cheney. CMV
It's more like a power struggle with outside support. The Bushes supported Hillary in 2016. The leftover neocons thought they could back Biden this time around and then win the party back (they lost it two schisms ago) post election.
So far it's not going well for them, but they've got all the money and media influence in the world to change that.
It still makes me laugh how many Republican politicians knew this would happen if DDR was their nominee and president but went with it to get access to his clout.
The great tragedy here is that DDC wasn't rslur enough to be outrageous on Twitter then we could have seen the establishment lose both the Democratic and Republican parties. His biggest mistake was trying to educate people instead of insulting them.
The people who would've been necessary for a moderate Reconquista of the GOP have defected to the Dems. They're Biden Republicans now. One of the most interesting statistical pearls from last year's exit polls was that as usual, as income brackets go from "dirt poor" to "six figures" voters got steadily more Republican ... but then when you reach $200,000, the Dems take over.
No wonder arr-[Politics that are Stupid] makes no end of excuses for the GOP, lol.
Last years exit polls are skewed because of solid blue states that instituted universal voting. That's where you also get the Democratic gain amongst whites.
when will a reporter get the nuts up to ask this guy about ahmed chalabi?
he was basically the pentagon's bogus source for all the intel they used for WMD, they knew he was full of shit and even admitted it later when the war failed.
Why it's important who was the source, he is just a guy if it wasn't this weird Egyptian it would have been someone else, they get all kind of bogus claims all the time they have to cross - check them, it's just politicized intelligence
Most people in the world at the time knew it was bs because Saddam accepted inspections of his arsenal at least twice from the UN before the war, returning every stone possible
They just wanted to go in and a lot of Americans too after 9/11
yeah if you go back and look at gallup polls from that time, the country was overwhelmingly in favor of invading iraq. although to be fair, people based that opinion off the info they got from the media, who was just being spoonfed bullshit from a bunch of 3-letter agencies, headed by warhawks and ghouls whose minds never really left the middle east after desert storm
The invasion went pretty well like desert storm I remember seing on TV toppled statues of Sadam just a few weeks after they just didn't understand or underestimated the cluster fuck who was Iraq, no moderates elites who had public support, the Shia/sunni shift in power helped by the US army (the Iran - Iraq of 1980-88 left +1 million deads on both sides) who pissed off as hell sunnis, also the abyssimal level of basic education, no one could proper run the country anymore so the Americans tried for a time but blood is always thicker to side with a occupying foreign entity, despite how nice Americans soldiers could try to be
Tbh Saddam was a time bomb, it was a question of time and lot of people saw an opportunity without thinking too much what would happend next
Curveball is a drama-naught of the highest caliber. Claimed he was real president of Iraq because apparently their line of succession went President, random Taxi Driver, Minister of Agriculture.

In an industry that uses individual tweets as research for most of their work, they would look really fucking stupid if anyone threw that callout right back in their smug, blue checkmarked faces.

So continues the rehabilitation of George "hey Colin go to the UN and lie about WMD" Bush.

At least they're not trying to rehabilitate Cheney or Rumsfeld.
15 busslordlowkeybussin 2021-04-21
Rumsfeld did some media appearances a few years ago, he tried to shill his book on Colbert.
Imagine how entertaining it would be seeing those ghouls come out and try to convince people they have hearts and souls.

Donald "were there that many vases" Rumsfeld?
I will never forgive that man for that phrase.

You're right but Dick Cheney is still going to burn in Hell. At least he'll be seated at the right hand of Satan.

Is he going to release a book soon? Seems he missed the low effort opportunity of getting plastered across every newspaper by calling Trump stupid.

Yeh new book about immigration. Think Bush is gearing up to rehab the Republican party's image for 2024 in case the party runs a moderate.

See, I would have just stopped there. Guess that's why I'll never be President.

Now: George Bush has fantastic opinions about lying to citizens that couldn't possibly be hypocritical with about 3 seconds of research...
