Dick Cheney whose lies are directly responsible for hundreds of
thousands of deaths went on Faux News to claim that Benghazi is the worst
scandal that he has ever seen.
Cheney appeared on Sean Handjob’s propaganda hour, and said, “I
watched Benghazi with great interest, Sean, and I think it is one of
worst incidents frankly, that I can recall in my career. It put the
whole the capability claiming that the terrorist problem solved once we
got Bin Laden. That al-Qaeda was over with. If they would have told the
truth about Benghazi that it was a terrorist attack by an al-Qaeda
affiliated group, it would have destroyed the false image of competence
that was the basis of his campaign for reelection. They lied. They
claimed that it was because of a demonstration video, so they wouldn’t
have to admit that it was really all about their incompetence. The State
Department, and the White House, and the NSC ignored repeated warnings
from the CIA about the threat. They ignored messages from their own
people on the ground that they needed more security. Indeed, they
reduced what was already there. The administration either had no forces
ready to respond to an attack, which should have been anticipated on the
anniversary of 9/11, or they refused to deploy them when our people
asked for help.”
Cheney also claimed that the cover up is ongoing. Most of what Dick
Cheney told Sean Handjob was a lie, but it is amazing that the former
vice president tried to take credit for the killing of Bin Laden.
(Notice that he said, “we” when referring to the operation that killed
Bin Laden.) It is also not surprising that Cheney still doesn’t
understand how military operations work. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates
called the idea that we could have sent forces into Benghazi,
“cartoonish,” and blasted his fellow Republicans for thinking that the
president could have just sent the military into Benghazi.
The great irony here is that Dick Cheney is claiming that the events in Benghazi are worse than the fact that he and the rest of the shrub junta made 935 false statements about Iraq in the two years after 9/11. Those
false statements, and Cheney’s doctoring of intelligence reports led to
an invasion that killed anywhere between 100,000- and 1 million people.
Dick Cheney’s lies cost at least 4,488 Americans their lives in Iraq,
but Benghazi, where no criminal activity occurred is worse. Over 320,000 Americans suffered brain injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan, but according to Cheney, Benghazi was worse. The epidemic of veterans’ suicides rages on, but Cheney wants us to believe that Benghazi was worse. Dick Cheney can’t travel outside of the United States, because of the backlash he inspires, but Benghazi was worse.
Former Vice President Cheney is trying to unjustly convict President
Obama for his own crimes. Dick Cheney lied and millions died. repugicans can scream Benghazi until the end of time, but it will never
wash away Dick Cheney’s crimes.
