Fox News' Megyn Kelly mercilessly confronted former Vice President Dick Cheney on her Wednesday show about his track record in Iraq.
After quoting Cheney's recent op-ed on the war, in which he said of President Obama, "Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many," she put this scorcher of a question to him:
"Time and time again, history has proven that you got it wrong as well in Iraq, sir. You said there was no doubt Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. You said we would be greeted as liberators. You said the insurgency was in its last throes back in 2005, and you said that after our intervention, extremists would have to 'rethink their strategy of jihad.' Now, with almost a trillion dollars spent there, with almost 4,500 American lives lost there, what do you say to those who say you were so wrong about so much at the expense of so many?"
Kelly didn't drop any mics, but she might as well have. Fox News viewers who were expecting something different might have wondered whether they were watching another network.
"No, I just fundamentally disagree, Reagan I mean, Megyn," Cheney replied.
Luckily for Cheney, the questions got much easier after that.

(6,045 posts)so excited about Megyn asking Dick a hard question...She did not force him to answer it or keep the questions coming she allowed Dick to Dick.
Even Bill Maher got his boxers all wrinkled up over it like someone actually got the guts to question Cheney...NOT QUITE.

(426 posts)the reason for her asking is so Fox can't point to that and say 'See, we did ask him!' when the critics pounce on them for giving criminals like Cheney air time.

(728 posts)She is just being a tool to let Cheney claim he has answered the big questions- notice how several questions are casually lumped together. And, she is, as you say, covering for FOX.

Didn't that crazy bastard have something in his sleeve better that that? I'm sure Liz didn't.
