When Cheney Couldn't Lie Anymore, He Does

Cheney's at it again, 3 years after the Iraq invasion, he is still claiming that we would be greeted as liberators and the insurgency is in its last throes. And his staff wonders why his poll numbers are in the teens and why no one trusts the guy. Cheney goes on to blame the media for the Iraq quagmire, I said this before and I will say it again. This fall the republican party will blame the media and all the dissenters for its failure, they will not accept responsibility even thought it was their policy and votes that got us where we are.

Cheney on Face The Nation this morning.

Transcript:

SCHIEFFER: Mr. Vice President, all along the government has been very optimistic. You remain optimistic. But I remember when you were saying we’d be greeted as liberators, you played down the insurgency ten months ago. You said it was in its last throes. Do you believe that these optimistic statements may be one of the reasons that people seem to be more skeptical in this country about whether we ought to be in Iraq?

CHENEY: No, I think it has less to do with the statements we’ve made, which I think were basically accurate and reflect reality, than it does the fact that there is a constant sort of perception if you will that’s created because what is newsworthy is the carbomb in Baghdad, it’s not all the work that went on that day in 15 other provinces in terms of making progress in rebuilding Iraq.
