Cheney led cheerleaders of Iraq invasion
By CARL HIAASEN, columnist for the Miami Herald

The loudest cheerleader for invading Iraq is on the stump once again, defending the bloody, bogged-down occupation and lambasting its critics.

Getting a war lecture from Dick Cheney is like getting dating advice from Michael Jackson.

The last time the United States went to battle, Cheney stayed far out of harm’s way. His only wounds from Vietnam were the paper cuts he got from opening his five – count ’em, five – draft deferment notices.

“I had other priorities in the ’60s other than military service,” he explained to a reporter in 1989.

Thousands of other young men applied for student deferments in the Vietnam era, or received draft lottery numbers that were never called (mine was 44). However, none grew up to be vice president of the nation, peddling a contrived war that somebody else’s kids would have to fight.

Nobody pushed harder than Cheney for a military strike against Saddam Hussein. Nobody was more cocksure about the presence of weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear components. Nobody was more emphatic about a secret alliance between al Qaeda and Baghdad.

And nobody was more consistently wrong. (more)

2. How amazingly true.

Rep. Murtha came out about 2 weeks ago and shared this amazing fact about Cheney: he hasn't served. And yet he's telling people like Murtha what should be done.

He broadcast that ugly fact all over the U.S.
