Bill O'Reilly interviewed dick cheney yesterday
and you know how we always joke around that Bill O'Reilly is right
about maybe one thing per year well this is that thing
I think he did a fantastic job in this interview
I shut it down a little bit but let's listen and then we'll talk about it
but I for second deals in Iraq and Afghanistan some tax
iraq Americans killed in our country more than 4,000 wounded more than
30 thou's rack war which lasted eight and a half years
cost nearly a trillion dollars Afghanistan Americans Kaia
1782 US troops will be close to 20,000
cost to the war about three-quarters have a trillion dollars so for
is expected most US forces be out of Afghanistan by the end of 2014
here now and chief architects of the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns
dick cheney what what do we get out of Iraq to a new
as americans we're all in it together we're alone together it's easy to
finger-pointing appointed UN and bush and I don't do that
but we spend a trillion dollars on this with a lot of pain and suffering on the
Miller
American would be good well recital Bobby cider
the but saddam be an attic what
but remember what we were faced with in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 we had a
lot of evidence
they indicate that in fact al Qaeda was trying to get their hands on weapons of
mass destruction
we had and saddam hussein a guy who'd produced use weapons of mass destruction
all
and I supported and I want you no no no I don't blame you
you Vice President Cheney or president bush for doing what you did I mean I'm
not back
back monday-morning quarterbacking but but what right now what we're hearing
when we get out of Iraq for all that blood and treasure when we get
we gain and my concern was then and remains today is the biggest threat we
face is the possibility of terrorist groups
like Al Qaeda acquitted weapons of mass destruction
nukes bucks for gas that was the threat after 9/11
and when we took down saddam hussein we eliminated there at the back
sources that al Qaeda in Mesopotamia is back that's right but they wouldn't be
if they
followed a policies that we laid out for Miller out he also didn't let me finish
your terms what we get out at which took down saddam is a major source
five days after we got an online market our announced he was going to surrender
is
nuclear materials and he had centrifuges he had a weapon design here the UN in
feedstock
and after week took care that we can then a kit kat
who is his major supplier father the Pakistan program
was run in a black market operation with put him on it this week there were three
major sources
love put it well it's because you're ugly: weapons by reincarnate
arm but right now iraq
looks to me and this is the the headline washing posted a nearly two years if the
US troop withdrawal
racks in a missive a deepening security crisis as an arcade affiliate wages
relentless campaign of attacks
so while you're correct in in a bigger picture I don't know after suffering and
blood was worth it
the US withdrawal from that part of the world
is is significantly diminished our capacity so that
whether we're trying to deal with the situation in Syria or the situation in
Iran
they don't pay any attention at okay soul again you have a policy difference
with
the Obama administration you wouldn't withdraw its day
but by staying we're paying so much money and suffering on our military
people are so high
but again were all americans we're all in this together it looks to me like the
Taliban is going to reconstitute
cause so much trouble in Afghanistan is going to become a chaotic mess
but the last time the Taliban to control in Afghanistan a
at bases train twenty thousand tears and i think im gonna do that again addition
it in addition to nineteen
hijackers who came here with airline tickets and box cutters and killed 3,000
I gotta put onto gonna do that again
so what would just sit back and the worry about it no but I'm asking you
if if we're withdrawing and they're gonna do it again
as it seems likely they will very real danger that we get mid
very well what do you get out of that if you withdraw any let that happen again
bill
BOM look at the end there
that's the key admission from Cheney and I get it
the hypocrisy Bill O'Reilly was one of the biggest buffoons in chief
propagandist
cheerleading for the war in Iraq beforehand and of course what he saying
now doesn't excuse how
you know he was 100 percent for it back then in really affected the debate in
the conversation in the United States I get all that night
totally agree with that we have been made in this engine in this interview he
does do
a pretty good job and I mean if think about it within the context of the
right-wing talkers right
Glenn Beck would have blown dick cheney rush limbaugh was a role that a red
carpet and pickle dick cheney scrotum
and song lullabies 10 min top 10 min nine kissed him on the forehead
you know Mark Levin Michael Savage
Sean Hannity all these guys would have absolutely done a sloppy blowjob a min
interview
at least Bill O'Reilly with it was persistent and because bill was so
persistent in saying
when we get what we get out to be not of it was worth 01 treasurer of those were
the one treasure
he got cheney to admit at the end that he does it
ever want to withdraw from Afghanistan and the Middle East
he wants American Empire he's arguing for imperialism
he's arguing for essentially the same thing that Britain was doing in India
and Britain they're all around the world all these
you know colonial is Asian this is exactly what dick cheney's arguing for
and because Bill O'Reilly who is in that Republican bottle with Nick cheney
because he disarmed him because of course chamber is gonna guess all Paul
interview
he got the change we made the end there well I mean we are where we are no
withdrawal some bad happen just stay there
you gotta stay there for how long because whatever you withdraw something
bad could happen in Afghanistan Iraq or anywhere else
it always always something that could happen it's not our business is our
business
but the chasing it is our business because we are an empire
because we run the world and by the way don't get misled here because
Fox News does this all the time when somebody like ships made or Chris
Wallace
wall be reasonable right and every once in a while Bill O'Reilly doesn't like
here
and the reason why they do that is to regain credibility so they can turn
around later and say
know where nothing like you know WABC radio right-wing talkers like rush
limbaugh and Mark Levin and all those guys
you know we are a high-minded news organization CEO Bill O'Reilly to this
one top interview with Dick Cheney's ole of us
know that doesn't excuse all the other propaganda there You've done
