>> When your mind is as advanced as Dave's, you don't need sources to justify your comments. WTF is the point? You idiots ignore anything that doesn't support your nutjob views. At least some of us are rational about it; you see what isn't working and want to just keep doing it.

The Cheneys largely stuck to their usual talking points during the discussion, criticizing President Barack Obama and defending the war in Iraq. As violence has started increasing in the nation once again, Dick and Liz Cheney have been visible media presences. When Allen noted that many people -- who are perhaps still upset that the George W. Bush administration lied to the American public in order to justify invading Iraq -- wonder why they should listen to the Cheneys now, Liz defended the administration's record. "Right now as we sit here today, I think there is complete agreement, frankly -- or almost, as much as what passes for complete agreement in Washington -- that in 2009, when Barack Obama took over, Iraq was stable. Even Barack Obama and Joe Biden said publicly many times that Iraq was in good shape." She said that withdrawal and the fact that the United States "walked away from Iraq" under Obama is what's causing the current instability. Liz Cheney, of course, is ignoring the fact that between 2003 to 2008, more than 4,000 U.S. service members and more than 105,000 Iraqi civilians died in the conflict. In 2009, which was significantly calmer than the previous years, there were still 149 U.S. deaths and 5,175 Iraqi deaths.
