Dick Cheney Calls for War on Iran
by William Boardman | October 30, 2013 - 9:44am

"Let's go make war on Iran!" said Republican Dick Cheney in somewhat different words on one of those silly Sunday shows October 26th.

This wasn't the first time Cheney had advocated for war on Iran. Or for torture. Or for assassination by drone. Or for any other war crime for which he is unlikely ever to be held accountable.

But in all fairness to the former vice president, this time he really only implied that war on Iran was inevitable. Looking at the record, however, it's hard to find any war Cheney hasn't found "inevitable," even if he had to lie to get it started, as he did with Iraq.

And Cheney's fondness for "inevitable" wars relies not merely on dishonesty, but more importantly, on personal detachment. Cheney has wanted all these wars to be inevitable for other people, not for anyone in his circle. That's the way it's been for Cheney since he copped out on the war of his generation, getting five deferments from Viet Nam because he had "other priorities" that included cheering on the warmakers who were sending more and more of other people's children to suffer and die in Southeast Asia.

1. Unnecessary war is the only thing that recharges Cheney's life force.

2. Time for that chicken-hawk to serve, he wants it so bad.

Send him over to Iraq first to collect all those flowers the Iraqi people have waiting for him.

3. He's Even Afraid To Go To Canada....

He's gotten quite vocal and in your face lately - what's going on with him?

[polly7]

4. Maybe he's trying to resurrect his party .... I really don't know.

He's completely clueless as to the misery and horror he's already caused. I feel sorry for that poor heart that has to pump his icy blood.

5. Cheney would call for war on the blue states and Canada if he thought

he could make it happen...why can't he just go and slither back to his dark cave?
