http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/08/dick-cheney-president_n_7024596.htmlCheney, who accused Iran of having one of the most radical regimes in history and being sworn to destroy Israel, told radio host Hugh Hewitt the deal will be a burden on the next occupant of the White House.
This is a totally radical regime that is the premiere sponsor of state terrorism in the world, and Obamas about to give them nuclear weapons, Cheney said. Its, I cant think of a more terrible burden to leave the next president than what Obama is creating here....
If you had somebody as president who wanted to take America down, who wanted to fundamentally weaken our position in the world and reduce our capacity to influence events, turn our back on our allies and encourage our adversaries, it would look exactly like what Barack Obamas doing, Cheney said.
Aw, c'mon, Dick. Have a heart.

Hint : it isn't the deal that's the problem. It's Iran
Iran is hardly the problem... when it comes to Iran and America, America is the bad guy... if Iran had done a tenth of what we've done to them, to us, we'd have nuked them by now...
Fear-monger over Iran in laughable...

(3,457 posts)Iranians elected Mossadegh prime minister in 1951. Quickly, the leader moved to nationalize oil production in the country -- a move that would have been a serious blow to the United States and Britain and a win for the USSR....
...On August 19, 1953, the coup swung into full effect as the CIA and British intelligence agency helped pull pro-Shah forces together and organized large protests against Mossadegh.
