Cheney Screws the US again

---

We've known for some time, thanks to Josh Marshall, that Dick Cheney is a man of disastrous principles, and repeated horrific failures. Rolling Stone recently distilled his decades long history of screwing things up beyond comprehension and still being considered "competent."

Today the New York Times has a long article that shows Cheney outright lied about Iraq's nuclear program to mislead America into war. Other administration officials (the incompetent Condi Rice, for instance) were burying the consensus that there was no evidence Iraq was reconstituting a nuclear program.

They just outright lied about it. And dragged America into war with fear about a "mushroom cloud" that was entirely unsubstantiated.

Lying to drag us into war. How disgusting.
