On Dick Cheney and “A Few Good Men”

I have always imagined that Dick Cheney sees himself as a figure similar to the Jack Nicholson character in “A Few Good Men”–a sort of martyr for foolish idealistic Americans who can’t handle the truth.  Well, the reality is that the Iraq invasion which he championed with such gusto did more to facilitate Iranian mischief than anything else that has happened since 1979.  To make matters worse, that turn of events was completely predictable, and was, in fact, predicted.  It was not a “known unknown” or even an “unknown unknown.”

So, Dick, you’re the one who can’t handle the truth, and the extremists in the Middle East are laughing their ISIS off at you.  You might want to consider that the next time you feel compelled to say something about the nuclear deal.
