Cheney Pushing Military Option for Iran. Surprised?
Since war is always the preferred option of the despicable chickenhawk Dick "The Dick" Cheney, he's making the rounds pushing his view that the Iran nuke deal is bad and that we should have threatened Iran with war instead. Today, he was talking to that neocon bastion, the American Enterprise Institute, where if awareness was gunpowder, they wouldn't have enough to disturb a fly. The Dick's prescription would be to demand Iran give up literally everything, including their commercial, non-weapons program or face a massive military attack (because that worked so well in Iraq). Nothing new here.
The Dick has been battling his own psychodrama ever since he and Dumbya missed the clear warning prior to 9-11 that al Qaeda was planning to use commercial jetliners to attack the U.S. Now, the chickenhawk's butched-up and wants to send the kids of working and middle class families off to another one of his ill-conceived wars, as long as he doesn't have skin in the game (after all, he wasn't called "5 deferment Dick" regarding the Vietnam War for nothing).
Meanwhile, the Dem votes are mounting to ensure that a Rethug vote against the Iran deal can be overridden: Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Gary Peters (D-MI) have announced that they'll vote for the Iran nuclear deal.
