HEY, DICK CHENEY: JUST SHUT THE F*CK UP AND GO AWAY ALREADY

If anyone needs to sit down and shut up on the subject of Iraq, it’s Dick Cheney. In an appearance on ABC’s This Week, the former Vice President didn’t deny that he was accusing President Obama of committing treason for undermining the nation’s national security interests in Iraq in an effort to take America “down a notch” in the world.

Jonathan Karl said, “In this op-ed, you suggest the president is a fool. That is the word you used, ‘only a fool would take the approach he’s taking in Iraq right now.’”

“It almost seems like you’re accusing the president of treason, that he’s intentionally bringing America ‘down a notch,’” Karl said.

“Now I don’t intend any disrespect for the president, but I fundamentally disagree with him,” Cheney said. “I think he’s dead wrong in terms of the course he’s taken in this nation, and I think we’re in for big trouble in the years ahead because of his refusal to recognize reality.”

Think Progress reports:

Without denying that he was questioning Obama’s intentions or dismissing the premise of Karl’s question, Cheney reiterated his criticism of the president for leaving “a big vacuum” in the entire Middle East, failing to recognize the terrorist threat, and limiting “the capability of future presidents to combat crises” by trimming military spending. Cheney ended his answer by stressing that he doesn’t “intend any disrespect for the president.”
