Liz Cheney Compares Trump to Obama for Not Attacking Iran: Could Be ‘Serious Mistake’
The Observer ^ | June 21 2019 | David Richardson

Posted on 06/22/2019 8:06:07 AM PDT by rintintin

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) compared President Donald Trump to his predecessor, former President Barack Obama, for calling off a military retaliation against Iran’s regime.

“So I’ll wait to see additional information on it, but I think it’s important that people recognize that the United States is going to keep its word and not go down the path that President Obama went down,” Cheney told a CNN reporter on Friday.

And had he attacked, would she have then said “Trump has killed innocent civilians when the Iranians only attacked an unmanned drone”?

You know, Bush/Cheney/Blair managed to make Qaddafi become a n ally in the War on Terror.

Why not? I’ll bet she has a real nice 50,000 square foot bunker complex with 30 years of good food, swimming pool, indoor gun range etc.

Trump did the “wise” thing. A Just War cannot be justified over the destruction of property. I suspect there were some back channel discussions that made it clear to Iran where we draw the line. They’ve been warned.

I knew they should have flown those planes into the world trade center at night. No humans no problem, correct?

It was a drone.

247 Marines were slaughtered in Beirut and we lobbed a few NJ shells at nothing. Hundreds of our soldiers were slaughtered by Iran built shape charge IEDs and we did nothing.

I have a sick feeling that a trumped up conflict with Iran very well may sink President Trump in 2020 because the media will make it so that the wobbly no war women voters turn against him.

Your response had absolutely nothing to do with my post about Trump thanking Iran for not shooting down civilians. Maybe you were responding to somebody else.

Oh yeah. Just pointing out her crazy use of the term ‘word’. She thinks the deep state is an equal. Lol.

Same here. The Establishment has exposed themselves for the Deep State’ers that they are.

I was looking for the "like" button on your post.

The Cheneys are the quintessential military industrialists. They need to be shunned.

Too many player at the table who wanted US in a shooting war with Iran.

I'd prefer to think that he merely postponed rather than called off an appropriate retaliatory measure. Let the j.f.kerry backed Persian regime sweat it out a little first.

I think there is a good chance that Iran is somehow getting inside information on our military plans. Maybe they got a heads up on what was coming. Trump has now left the White House for Camp David. I think The White House is not as secure.

Oops you’re right- it’s Mary in a cat fight with her sister that stained both of them- and now Enzi isn’t running in 2020-so code pink is excited as is the pipeline Native americans. So what? Never liked any of the cheneys- especially Dick when he was (a)screwing around with Gen. Norman Shwarzkopf’s war plans and (b)by using Gen. Colin Powell and the “mile of death” to prevent the Shwarzkopf war plan of entry into Baghdad and the capture of Saddam Hussein, and who then allowed Iraqi helicopters to massacre and gas the Marsh Arabs (all shiite, btw). One nasty piece of work, with the Kurds also. Imagine-had we gotten Saddam then, and not be UN pussies— no Gulf War II, no 9/11, and no never ending continuum of Afghanistan now for 19 years. See: ISOG and Liz Cheney, See: Int’l Republican Institute (headed by McCain, the gunrunner with hitlery) see— war in Syria created by all these clowns- and russia still has it’s client state.

The connection in all current Iran issue is this: Bolton and Liz— both of them are Romney people, Bushie/Romney people.
Tick tock goes the Barr/Durham clock, and a lot of surprises are in store, lots of rinos in the “payola” for uranium game. Should be fun— but some of these are probably in fear of exposure. They tried to pull this President into a war— to make certain of his non election. They’d love Biden- or maybe hills or moochelle- can one imagine how stupid it all is to these Rinos- so they can keep lining their pockets.

Bushes (and cheneys) and their ilk put plants into Trump’s admin.So, be gone, and the same for the clintoonians. This is not their world, not anymore. God forbid we liquidate all the Soros’ world national socialists—because they and the Bushie/Romneys are all for the New World Order of GHW Bush (his inaugural speech- really!) and sons and nothing to do with American sovereign power.

Apologize for the error, her political positioning is tiresome, romneylike tone deaf. She might actually lose to a dem if she keeps this up. Proclivities are irrelevant afaic. For example- here’s a dyke who was a real conservative, a Southern conservative-(long way from Camille Paglia, and brighter) who had everybody’s number, the refreshing Florence King of the olde National Review.

Interesting analysis— and dovetails with my “bolton is a bushie” (and more recently a romneybot, along with Liz Cheney).

Bush in office— we’d be on our way to Gulf War III of the Orwellian perpetual war.

What would either Bush do? Then do exact opposite.
The revolt against the mullahs, a real one depends on this- not a sellout that exposes them, like Bush I did to the Kurds to his absolute shame. As bad as piss poor response to Tianamen Square protests (zero help).
