Laura Ingraham To Republicans: Stop Talking About Iraq Already!

[DonViejo]

TOM KLUDT – JUNE 27, 2014, 3:43 PM EDT

Call her crazy, but Laura Ingraham doesn't think it helps Republicans to re-open a debate over a war that the overwhelming majority of Americans now view as a mistake.

Ingraham weighed in Thursday night on the "O'Reilly Factor" about the recent war of words between Bill Clinton and Dick Cheney.

Clinton said this week that the former vice president's scathing criticism of the Obama administration over the unraveling situation in Iraq — typified by an angry op-ed piece he co-wrote with his daughter, Liz Cheney — has been "unseemly."

Cheney responded with a not-so-veiled reference to the Monica Lewinsky scandal during a speech Wednesday evening in Montana, quipping that "if there’s somebody who knows something about unseemly, it’s Bill Clinton."

1. Oh, yes, that feral sense of self preservation among the smarter wingnuts

She knows damned full well that Obama's withdrawal of most of the military from the cities and then from the country was according to a plan that was finalized when Stupid was in office. They not only started the war, they orchestrated "running away before it was finished."

If people start to remember that, the Republicans are finished even before they start.

Too bad most people are either salivating over the Kardashians or glued to sports.

2. She's nuts. The mistakers in chiefs parading talk shows and bringing up Iraq is great for the GOP!

Heh.

4. They want funding

and parading assholes that were wrong on television reminds the taxpayers that they threw money away for no good reason, and sacrificed sons and daughters in a war that had no purpose but to plump up the MIC purse.

If you want to stir up another useless war, you can't have people that died or had catastrophic losses in it have a reason to speak up. Just shut up, and let it proceed quietly.

That's the new talking point.

3. Everyone from Fox News on

is chiming in on the same message - stop talking about the war because nobody wants to hear about it - we just want to make sure it keeps getting funded, not stopped!
