Cheney comes out of hiding to attack Trump

Former Vice President Dick Cheney castigated Donald Trump on Monday after the GOP presidential front-runner accused former President George W. Bush of lying in order to force the US into war in Iraq.

“He sounds like a liberal Democrat to me,” Cheney told Fox News host Bret Baier. “He’s wrong, and I think he’s deliberately promoting those views in order to advance his own political interests.”

want to go into Iraq but went along with W for his poiltical reasons, you knew it was a bad idea as you knew the first time it was suggested that it was.

I dislike you with a passion, but I think you are capable of knowing right from wrong, and you KNOW you lied to us, you asshole.

of lying us into war.

Bush was a stooge, not a mastermind.

that he's deliberately promoting those views in order to advance his own political interests?

Afterall - Trump is running a campaign to become the president.

And by the way Dick - didn't you deliberately promote things - like a WMD's - in order to advance your own political interests?

Notice folks - he didn't refute Trump's accusations. Don't you think if Trump's accusations weren't correcg that he would have called Trump on that?

No he just attacked Trump for being a politician.

Unlike Dick Cheney who cast the deciding vote to enact the Bush tax cuts early in 2001, which just happened to net him an extra $175,000 a year.

I'm glad you got a new heart, because they are coming to get you some day soon. You will pay for your war crimes. America knows what you did. You should stay in hiding you are only making it easier for us with your big mouth. Tick Tock time is slipping away Dick.
