Liz Cheney attacked Rep. Greene for opposing Biden and US involvement in Ukraine.
Today, this was Rep. Greene’s response:
“Your father lied our country into a war with Iraq.
“Over $3,000,000,000,000 in taxpayer funds were wasted.
“And tragically over 4,500 American soldiers never came back home.
“This isn’t a game. American lives and livelihoods are on the line.
“War = bad”

“Lot of my friends who came back injured in many ways would disagre“
Disagree with what.
And on what basis.
“After 911 there was no way not to make sure they didn’t have nukes or were working on ways to nuke the US.”
If Secretary Cheney would have handled Iraq correctly in 1991, there wouldn’t have been a need to go back in 10 years later.
“If Secretary Cheney would have handled Iraq correctly in 1991, there wouldn’t have been a need to go back in 10 years later.”
I don’t disagree with this.
They also mismanaged it, which is probably a nice way to say it.
This might be relevant if Margie wasn’t a Qtard.
As a Qtard, anything she says is, by definition, retarded and false.
Not on this...several companies were involved...even some from Yugoslavia.
Not taking a side in whether the war was just or right but they did find thousands of chemical weapons that saddam was supposed to have destroyed after Gulf War I, just not newly manufactured ones.
Saddam’s son in law defected to Jordan, in the late 90s and claimed that Iraq was still producing chem, bio and nuclear weapons.
Saddam enticed him to come home, where he was subsequently machine gunned.
After Saddam was captured, Khadaffi gave up his WMDs, including a nuke program, to avoid a fate like Saddam.
He claimed the nuke program was joint Libya / Iraq.
There were a good number of companies that went over to fight the fires: Red Adair’s firm, Boots and Coots, and others as well.
I remember the media looked at how long it would take to put out the fires after the first one was put out by an oil fire crew in Kuwait at the time the war ended. The left wing MSM said at that rate it would take 20 or 30 years to put out all the fires. Of course oil fire firefighters were converging on Kuwait as the MSM was spreading its lies. The fires were put out in about 30 days. I still remember the King of Kuwait personally thanking the fire fighters.
“Is cheney involved with Haliburton?
Does Haliburton still receiving no bid contracts?
Is Haliburton involved at all with the war in Iraq?
“
Yes, and hence her irrational illogical direction.
I knew a long time ago that Afghanistan was a waste and that the government that the US installed and propped up would never stand on it’s own. We wasted 20 years proving it.
It’s always been obvious to me she is protecting her father somehow
Nothing else explains it.
Most all of them (primarily infantry and other ground fighters) think it was a horrible waste of men and money that accomplished little more than killing or disabling a lot of our best men
MTG needs more security.
This lady’s stock is going up.
I can feel the BP of Lizard exploding all the way here in the Twilight Zone!

Could be.
That doesn’t address the legitimacy of making sure we would not be nuked.
They were (or Saddam was) a State sponsor of terror in a post- 9-11 world. Being in the ME was a complicating matter.
Pepperidge Farms remembers when this place was all in for Bush and the Iraq War.
I remember it well. "Go get 'em, Dubya!" Many Freepers perished because of this war. Not physically, I don't mean. They were shown the door for expressing less than unrestrained enthusiasm for Rumsfeld's and Cheney's neocon adventure.
Not saying your right or wrong, but what would you have done after the coalition ran saddams army out of Kuwait? That was a turkey shoot (I was there) but the alliance had limits too.
The biggest problem I had with the non-conclusion of the 91 war was the poor enforcement of the no fly zones. Saying saddams helicopters didn’t constitute no fly zone violations was just dumb and allowed saddam to remain in power.
Lez Cheney the old battle horse is willing to go full libtard if the democrats will sponsor war
