I agree with this column about Dick Cheney. Every time he opens his mouth, he reminds America how inept and dishonest the Bush Administration was about the war in Iraq. They got darn near everything wrong and now Cheney's doubling-down and even tripling-down on perhaps this nation's greatest-ever military screw-up. The best thing you can say about them is that they weren't solely culpable; that they got a lot of Democrats and most of the press to go along with them.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq will ultimately have cost this country over $6 trillion dollars and 4500 American deaths, plus more than 32,000 wounded. Counting the other damages done to this country and the deaths in Iraq is more difficult but those are surely staggering numbers.
Oh, well. At least Halliburton made good money off it.
