Reid: It's 'Terrifying' The GOP Is Listening To Dick Cheney

[n2doc]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid chastised House Republicans after they met Tuesday with former Vice President Dick Cheney and discussed potential U.S. military action against the radical Islamic group ISIS.

"Taking advice from Dick Cheney on foreign policy? That's a terrifying prospect," the Nevada Democrat said Wednesday on the Senate floor. "We should be learning from our past mistakes, not repeating them. Airstrikes and strategic use of drones and, of course, covert action are the most effective way to take out ISIS without committing troops — American troops in harm's way. So I support President Obama's decision not to send in ground troops. That's not an option for the American people. I can guarantee everyone that, within the sound of my voice."

Reid warned rushing into another ground war in the Middle East.

"Now that the Republicans are taking advice from Dick Cheney on foreign policy, I'm concerned that they once again will rush to commit U.S. troops to a ground war in the Middle East. We could accomplish the mission in a more strategic way. I say to Democrats and Republicans, let's destroy these despicable terrorists, but let's do it the right way this time," he said.

1. The GOP aren't the only ones.

This whole situation is a cluster fuck from hell. The right way, the wrong way. It still means death and destruction for them by our bombs and missiles and crushing massive debt for the US. But what the fuck huh? There are programs that benefit American citizens that can be cut. Amirite?

Is a day that we should all rejoice.

Note I say heart attack NSA, because while the thought of him squealing like a pig at the end of the gallows as a nice thought, I know that it would fuel GOP martyrs. let him die on his bed, an old man whose money finally failed him.
