Remember Liz Cheney made lots of money on the Iraq war.
For those that watched her .... I can't ..... my sympathies.

Remember Liz Cheney made lots of money on the Iraq war. She was a "middle east expert" who did not speak the
language, hired former pizza delivery men to help in the post Saddam running of Iraq, was in charge of reconstruction
after Baghdad fell under Bremmer, and screwed up the job royally. Just look @ Iraq today, little water, bad schools,
bad roads, blown up bridges, ethnically cleanesed cities, no power in many areas, and billions of dollars in oil that
got loaded on ships but was not paid for .... you all can think Liz Cheney.


I want one reporter to ask her how much money she made after she placed into postion from A.E.I. as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs

2. As was typical of all the hires in the Bush administration, she was highly qualified.
You're just jealous.

4. I've been saying for years that Dick Cheney is everyone's career in his family
Even his son in law works for him. And by saying they work for him I mean that Dick Cheney IS their life's work. They were given jobs that he chose for them and their jobs always benefited him and his agenda. It's all about him. All of it.

5. He started the Iraq war to make money
Under H.W. he was Sec. of Defense ... he outsourced military work to private contractors.

Under Clinton he was head of one of those private contractors.

Under W. he lied to start a war and made God only knows how much money,

9. When cheney* took office (literally) his net worth was approximately $3.1 million...
His net worth now is approximately $94 million. Yes, I'd say the Iraq war has been very, very good to Darth cheney*.

Warmonger = cheney*:kick:

6. The white wash that was floated by MSNBC by setting up the conditions that Liz Cheney would
not relinquish the mike, is the biggest jaw dropping I can't believe what I just heard, propaganda promoted.

Yuck and double yuck.

I wonder who will step up to the plate and tear her statements apart.

7. The day Darth cheney* took office he was worth $3.1 million according to public record.
Today cheney* is worth approximately $94 million, most of which is because of his "salary deferral" from Halliburton.
