The Iranian president never got an opportunity to address congress, Netanyahu was ready to attack Iran several years ago but cooler heads talked him out of it, according to him Iran has had nuclear capability since the 90's.

North Korea in fact has nuclear capability and they were on the verge of military action last week yet Iran is our largest concern, talk about priorities.

I don't want to generate yet another war against someone who has done nothing to us.

Liz on the other hand is about as useless as an ice cube in hell.
Usually I agree with you, but in this case I think you are dead wrong...

Actually, Liz Cheney is as USEFUL as a portable room heater in hell. [Couldn't rep you again...]

Problem is that Cheney should have known that terrorists flying planes into buildings was highly possible if not probable. It was actually the main plot line of a major Clancy book released just years before and also the subject of intelligence reports*. Combined with the threat warning given over and over and over again, Dick and his pal should have been far more vigilant; but they were asleep at the switch; and that is the only reason Dick pops off every few months - to try to shift the blame from himself. He would be more successful if he just slinked away.

*Report warned of suicide hijackings in 1999.

"I don't think anybody could have predicted that ... they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile..." --National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice

Then to make it worse he wanted to cover up his failures...

"The vice president has repeatedly asked Congress not to investigate the intelligence failures. But with the new commotion, the White House now says it will cooperate with an investigation if it's done the right way."

This man has no place criticizing President Obama.

That stage has been being set since 1947-48.

The Bush/Cheney administration is bookended by two of the biggest disasters in the United State's history with 9/11/2001 and the Financial Crisis of 2008. How can we take anything Dick "weapons of mass destruction" Cheney says seriously. The man isn't just foolish he's also a war criminal who the gutless wonder Obama should have had imprisoned immediately after being sworn in as President.

When the iranian nukes are ready to launch there will be no targets remaining to obliterate.

To the Iranians, nukes are a straw dog used to rev up their regional war. The nukes are being saved for the USA and time is on their side.

The 100 billion$$ resets the clock. Any future sanctions put in place, 'if', Iran violates the treaty, will be meaningless and have no effect until the 100 billion$$ runs out. Not only that but the, cough, cough, coalition of countries could care less about nukes tomorrow, they want to do lucrative business deals with Iran today and would not suddenly halt their business with Iran in the event of a violation.

So iran gets to up their current war mongering, fomenting unrest and murdering Americans and other nationals, compliments of the obama caused gloabl warming which unfroze 100 billion in Iranian assets.

Cheney ignores the fact that America has been bombing,attacking, embargo, subverting other nations for decades where Iran has attacked no one. He also ignores the fact that the U.S. is the only country to have ever used nukes on another country ( and largely on civilians at that).
Cheney needs to get off his high horse, America holds no moral high ground.
