Cheney: Iraq war as a "remarkable achievement"
I guess in an literal sense he is accurate. But why would he want to call attention to unprecedented failure.

1. Hey, Little Bighorn was pretty remarkable, too.
Further evidence that Deadeye Dick is even dumber and crazier than Shrub.

2. Yes thats exactly what I mean.
Remarkable is not a positive attribute, not even if you combine it will achievement. Its an 'oh-mi-god' attribute.

5. The only thing remarkable about the Iraq War
... was the fact that such rabid war-mongers could/would execute it in such an incompetent fashion.

6. He is 100% accurate from his perspective.
They don't care if we win, they don't even care if there is stability.

They got what they wanted, oil at $60 plus a barrel. Most of that is oil that was making a profit for them at $20 a barrel!

Then there are the people making and selling missiles and tanks and humvees and etc.

Never forget, we are not their base, we are not the haves and have mores.

9. When you consider how close to bankruptcy Halliburton was in 2002
It was a remarkable achievement that only a few hundred thousand folks had to die, and only half a trillion dollars were flushed down the toilet to save Crash Cart's deferred compensation from his once and future employer.

13. 600,000 dead Iraqis.
Sunnis and Christians out of work, out of luck, and on the lam. Iran-friendly Shiite government ready to kill off the minorities. It is all so swell. Cheney is one sick, satanic demon.
