Liz Cheney Compares Trump to Obama for Not Attacking Iran: Could Be ‘Serious Mistake’
The Observer ^ | June 21 2019 | David Richardson

Posted on 06/22/2019 8:06:07 AM PDT by rintintin

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) compared President Donald Trump to his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, for calling off a military retaliation against Iran’s regime.

“So I’ll wait to see additional information on it, but I think it’s important that people recognize that the United States is going to keep its word and not go down the path that President Obama went down,” Cheney told a CNN reporter on Friday.

Cheneys like sending other people kids to war almost as much as the Clintons and Bushes do.

“I think what Ms. Cheney is driving at is she doesn’t want the USA to look like a paper tiger like we did under BHO.”

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to recall the Cheneys supporting Ibamas wars on Libya and Syria.

What she wants, I fear, is a return to that kind of interventionism, in the spirit of her fathers Iraq War

Liz Cheney, an insane neocon just like her old man. DJTs resistance to these warmongers is a thing of beauty and it will be rewarded in 2020.

Could be fake news. “

Nope. I heard her say something similar in a Salem Radio news report this morning

Not much of a military strategy when your only options is to just bomb them. That is the mindset that both Liz and her Dad have. It is also the kind of mindset of a Meghan and John McCain. I think good ‘ol Lindsey Graham is starting to come around to a different kind of thinking since Trump. Graham used to be the same way.

There may still be a military retaliation; it’s only been a few days.

I didn't like Trump, just now speaking to reporters, talking about how much we appreciate Iran not shooting down a passenger plane they had in their sites.

Showing them love for not killing dozens of innocents for no reason was a bit much. Just emphasize the disproportionate reaction such an action would provoke. That's the language they understand.

How did Liz Cheney get a top leadership role in the House GOP so soon after getting elected to the House?

People who say the GOP has become “Trumps party” are mistaken

“I used to like Liz but she’s sort of worn out her welcome.”

She has said a few things that I do not agree with. I think she has some Bush blood flowing in her veins.

That has got to be the most disgusting thing ever said about Trump.

“There may still be a military retaliation”

Or maybe not. Did Reagan do a military retaliation for the Soviets’ shoot down of a passenger airliner with Americans aboard?

“Shut up, Liz. You don’t know the President’s thinking in making this decision.
You’re embarrassing yourself. “

You’re right. She’s a knee-jerk neocon. So far, not as dangerous as her father was. Let not this woman get any real power.

The President did it just right. Ready, set....stop.

And our CIA watched the Iranian cockroaches scurry.

This was the same game plan the muzzies used on our embassies...a false attack and then a real attack.

Define “attack Iran”. WTF good does some pussy lashing out do? Title for tat is a child’s game. If they are worthy of attack than make it complete and broadband: Oil trashed, comm trashed, navy gone, air force gone...otherwise no point.

The GOP is an oligarchy
Kind of like a Country Club with birthright members who have to accept New Money but look down on it

The Left havent been wrong about some things
Of course they too are an oligarchy but with more New Money members who are getting too uppity

Yep. Send them the invoice for a replacement drone, and mark it up some for the inconvenience, but don’t go shoot the place up making sure to destroy all their nuke assets BTW... not just yet...

Wouldn’t be surprised if the Deep State and CIA worked with Neocons and Dems to get us in a useless war, spike gas prices, and boot Trump out.

Remember when Obama sent them 1.7 billion in cash?

Not a peep of protest from our “free media.”

You’re right and you know why? Because outside the military-media complex, no one likes war. They of course love it, because it is exciting and drive up the ratings and generates demand for products like nothing else, but normal people outside the bubble do not.

This was true in WWII, in Vietnam, even with Iraq, where lies and ginned-up data was used to justify going to war.

Trump’s instincts about where the majority of Americans sentiments are is nearly always correct. He knows We the People do not want war unless we are attacked or it is a last resort, and Trump is doing the will of The People.
