Press TVFormer US Vice President Dick Cheney said on Sunday that military action in Iran is likely unavoidable in order to stop Iran’s nuclear energy program.
Cheney, who served from 2001 to 2009 under President George W. Bush, made the remarks after George Stephanopoulos, host of ABC’s ‘This Week’ program, asked him, “is military action against Iran inevitable?”
“I have trouble seeing how we’re going to achieve our objective short of that (military action),” Cheney said.
“I doubt very much that the diplomacy will be effective if there’s not the prospect that, if diplomacy fails, that we will, in fact, resort to military force,” he added. “I don’t have a lot of confidence in the administration to be able to negotiate an agreement.”
Cheney said such action would have served as a deterrent to Iran, and would have put the US in a better negotiating position with Iran today.
The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program, with the US and European Union using the claim as an excuse to impose illegal sanctions against Tehran.
The sanctions come on top of four rounds of US-instigated UN Security Council sanctions against Iran under the same pretext.
Iran has categorically rejected the allegation, stressing that as a committed member of the IAEA and a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, it is entitled to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and will not relinquish that right.
Cheney was a key architect of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 that according to some estimates killed over one million people.
According leaksource.wordprress.com, American and foreign companies hugely profited from the war. It says the companies reaped over $138 billion from the war with KRB, formerly known as Kellogg Brown and Root, the former subsidiary of Halliburton, which was once run by Dick Cheney, raking in the most profits. The company was awarded at least $39.5 billion in federal contracts related to the Iraq war over the past decade.

WE’RE SENDING YOU DICK, AND THE REST OF YOUR HIDEOUS FAMILY FIRST, THEN Da BUSHES
Would someone please march this war criminal up the gallows?
I’d like to see if he could die with the same dignity that Saddam Hussein did. This man merits execution.
I predict his date with the gallows is unavoidable.
TRAITOR!
Darth Cheney needs to be stopped, before he shoots someone else in the face.
Unless he’s out hunting with Obummer.
While Obummer may be a puppet, I’m sure he has enough sense to never ever go hunting with Darth Cheney…lol.
But we can still dream. Maybe they could shoot each other in the face.
It is infuriating that this yellow belly coward would talk of “military action” against anyone. When he had his chance to serve during Viet Nam this yellow belly had “better things to do” to quote him.
Bottom dwellers such as Cheney let others do the fighting while he and his corporate buddies plan on profiting from the spoils of war. There may never have been a more loathsome creature in American political life.
I saw this bastard when I was flipping the channels on my TV in my room today. I kept asking myself, why is he still alive and why the reporter who is interviewing him not take his pen and stab that bastard in the eye and heart? It could be that easy. Hell, I literally wanted to go through my TV and do it myself.
Even if that, people knew where he was. They could have just waited for him to come out of ABC’s building, run up to him, unplug his heart monitor and smash it. He drops to the ground for the count.
Hell, someone hang this bastard for treason, mass murder and crimes against humanity.
The world’s biggest DICK, Cheney, got several heart operations courtesy of the government, and still gets taxpayer funded health care, but is dead set against poor people having the same.
What a pathetic… I better stop now, before what I say gets censored from ‘FTTWR.’
But it would be something like this: #$%%I*lo)(&^^^Hgg^^&***()^%P)($$$%&U&%$#%^&(*&()_)(&%$##$&*IU&())_%&$%*(P{U*U(*Y{*E*$&(*&^%$%>>>>
My thoughts exactly on the last part. *^*^%*#@#(%*@(*#((!##(!!!!!!
Fat Dick is a fat piece of dog sπ1t.
Too bad that piece of crap didn’t die on the operating table. He is absolute scum and evil.
