Even though john mccain is not president. but if mr. john mccain had his way, it would have been the united states doing that whole thing on his own. if it is our policy that moammar gadhafi must go, then it seems that some action must be taken. they are not a formidable force, we are the strongest nation in the world. we should be able to take care of their defenses as well as their air assets without too much difficulty. shouldn t be too much difficulty, so john mccain wars in georgia, russia, libya, anywhere else? senator, could have been president john mccain? some u.s. forces, approximately 20,000 should remain for a period of time to help the iraqis secure the hard-earned gains that we had made together. i would be very reluctant to reduce the surge troops.
Story when i first saw it, i swear i thought it couldn t possibly be true, i thought i was being punked. on the ten year anniversary of the saddam statue being pulled down, house republicans celebrated this week inviting former vice president dick cheney to a closed door meeting for him to share with them his dick cheney wisdom on foreign policy. to be clear, dick cheney didn t show up uninvited and they felt bad and had to let him in, they invited him to talk to them, he is their chosen expert. still. since we reported that story wednesday night after the meeting i have some sort of correction. i ve been waiting to feel stupid, right? waiting to hear it was some lefty satire that fooled us, no way did house republicans seek out dick cheney for advice on foreign policy in 2013. can t be. but alas, there has been no correction. that apparently actually happened. and it gets better or worse, better/worse. vice president cheney s next
On wednesday night, two nights ago, we reported on a story when i first saw it, i swear i thought it couldn t possibly be true, i thought i was being punked. on the ten year anniversary of the saddam statue being pulled down, house republicans celebrated this week inviting former vice president dick cheney to a closed door meeting for him to share with him his dick cheney wisdom on foreign policy. to be clear, dick cheney didn t show up uninvited and they felt bad and had to let him in, they invited him to talk to them, he is their chosen expert still. since we reported that story wednesday, i have been waiting for some sort of correction, waiting to feel stupid, right? waiting to hear it was some lefty satire that fooled us, no way did house republicans seek out dick cheney for advice on
Election after the debate i had to j the after debate commentar msnbc chris matthews who usually turns red in the face and starts shouting at the mention of my name paid me a compliment. mike barnicle of the boston herald was also kind. the only thing that surprised him he said was that at the end of the debate, at the end of 90 minutes dick cheney didn t turn to john edwards and say, by the way, give me the car keys too. that s good, mike. that made my whole night. that was in cleveland. it was. what was the precise point, though, that you decided and suggested to the president of the united states that the united states needed to go to war with iraq? well, i think it came out of 9/11 really. i remember you going on meet

i got to tell you, a lot of observers yesterday said he was the star of the event. one of the rowdier moments came when trump mentioned potential presidential candidate, rand paul. by the way, rand paul cannot get elected. i m sorry to tell you. you know what else? i think he s a good guy. i like him, but honestly, he has zero chance of getting elected. you have to win an election. he has my vote. former vice president dick cheney didn t get the warmest welcome at the conference. during a surprise appearance to introduce former defense secretary, don rumsfeld, one member of the audience heckled cheney while a majority of supporters chanted usa. a minority were upset that rumsfeld was there to receive a defender of the constitution
