CATHERINE THOMPSON JUNE 18, 2014, 3:06 PM EDT
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney took a dig at former Vice President Dick Cheney on Wednesday for his scathing Wall Street Journal op-ed on President Barack Obama's handling of the situation in Iraq.
Carney was asked about the opinion piece, in which Cheney declared "rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many," during his final White House briefing.
"Which president was he talking about?" Carney said with a straight face, drawing laughter from reporters.
"Look, it's always good to hear from former Vice President Cheney," he added. "It's pretty clear that President Obama and our team here have distinctly different views on Iraq from the team that led the United States to invade Iraq back in 2003, so he's entitled to his opinion."

Or is it in the Rules of the Club that we don't speak ill of former members, no matter what crimes against humanity they may have committed?

I mean he's resigning anyway.

(23,946 posts)that exposure because the neocons owning the WSJ, Murdoch and company, are equally neocons, and equally complicit in his war crimes.
See how that works?
