"Our military needs to know that they're not going to be prosecuted when they come back because somebody has said you did something that was politically incorrect," he said in an interview on Fox News. "There is no such thing as a politically correct war. We need to grow up. We need to mature."
"He" as in Cheney, appears to be rewriting history.
Withdrawal of troops began in 12/2007. Subsequent, the Bush Admin and Iraq agreed all troops were to be withdrawn no later than 12/2011 and they were. There is nothing to indicate Iraq asked the U.S. to stick around.
Last year Rand Paul said the "U.S.spent years arming and training the Iraqi military. When the bad guys came, the Iraqi shed their uniforms and hid".
The U.S. spent $1 trillion a year, each year in Iraq when interest on the incremental debt and VA benefits are factored in. Congress threw the masses a tax cut bone and no one cared about deficits or the debt. Cheney told us "deficits don't matter".
Chaney said that. It appears to me that he is right, and should get credit for being right, too.
The civilian death toll in Iraq was double in 2014 (17,049) what it was in 2013 (9,743). So pulling out cold turkey and expecting Iraq to survive was a bad idea. And lots of people told Obama it was a bad idea.
Implementation of this bad idea is causing Hillary headaches as she tries to run for President in the face of a stream of refugees. She was Secretary of State when the stage was being set for what is becoming worse and worse.
Didn't they promise to fix it?
The Bush admin and Iraq agreed to withdraw all troops by 12/2011 and we did.
The U.S. was burning $ 1 Trillion a year in Iraq, when interest on the incremental debt and VA benefits are factored in.
U.S. taxes should have increased to fund this war. Instead, a tax cut bone was tossed at the people.
Rand might look at his father's foreign. even when no responsibility. It was nothing but totally leave the world of foreign policy by total withdrawal. What is really happening is we have no staying power and our enemies know it. In time its a likely a disaster coming.

Iraq DEFINITELY didn't want us to stick around.
