Cheney reminds everyone who is to blame for Iraq disaster
In all that has been written about the impossibly bad choices facing the US in Iraq, too little has been said about how the US and the world got to this impasse and why.
Until now.
The utterly outrageous op-ed by Liz and Dick Cheney - the one most wrong about most things to do with Iraq - in Wednesdays Wall Street Journal dares to call President Obama blithely unaware.
Dick Cheney is wrong again. But, perhaps inadvertently, he has performed a valuable public service in reminding everyone of the disastrous historical mistakes and outright falsehoods and criminality that put the US in its current position.
Everyone needs a history lesson.

Outrageous: Cheney dares to critique Iraq policy
It seems like President Obama has learned his history.
His response is measured and proportionate.
He knows there are no good options and wont rush into a senseless military adventure.
Cheney should just shut up already. Forever.
