'Wrong Then, Wrong Now': White House Video Rips Cheney For Iran Deal Criticism

[DonViejo]

Timed to a speech given by former Vice President Dick Cheney slamming President Obama's Iran deal, the White House released a video highlighting Cheney's continual defense of the Iraq war.

The two-and-a-half-minute video titled "Former Vice President Dick Cheney: Wrong Then, Wrong Now" -- which was featured prominently on the White House homepage Tuesday -- spares no punches.

It begins with a Fox News host asking Cheney last week why anyone who believes Cheney was wrong on Iraq should listen to him about the Iran deal.

"Because I was right about Iraq," Cheney said.

It then segues into the abundant news clips from the run-up to Iraq War in which Cheney offers scores of claims first urging then defending military action -- from touting the presence of weapons of mass destruction to predicting that Iraqis would great American troops "as liberators."

2. You go PBO! Thank you for calling out the war criminal

3. As late as 2006, Republican co-workers insisted that we had found WMDs in Iraq.

They have a hard time admitting when they are wrong, and they are wrong a lot.

Everybody is wrong some of the time, but the Republicans are wrong very often and never want to admit it.

That's what gets our country into so many wars when Republicans have the White House.

No more Republicans in the White House. Absolutely no more.

That goes for Donald Trump too.

4. To THIS DAY...

5. Refuaing to face this Republican hypocrisy dooms them.

Obama points it out so we can get past it. Cheney would blow your face off rather than admit he is wrong.
