“There’s a great YouTube of Dick Cheney in 1995 defending President Bush #1 and the decision not to invade Baghdad in the first Gulf war, and he goes on for about five minutes. He’s being interviewed, I think, by the American Enterprise Institute, and he says ‘it would be a disaster, it would be vastly expensive, it’d be civil war, we would have no exit strategy.’
“He goes on and on for five minutes. Dick Cheney saying it would be a bad idea. And that’s why the first Bush didn’t go into Baghdad. Dick Cheney then goes to work for Halliburton. Makes hundreds of millions of dollars, their CEO. Next thing you know, he’s back in government and it’s a good idea to go into Iraq.”
Guess who said those words? That’s right, it was Rand Paul. Those words are just part of what the Republican/Libertarian said about his former Republican vice president. Rand Paul, a Republican prospect to run for president in 2016 opened his mouth in the video below and guess what…? The truth jumped out.
The video below was brought to light by Mother Jones.
Paul had more to say about Cheney. See the video below.
