Dick Cheney wanted to invade several Middle East nations, not just Iraq, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair reveals in his new book.

Blair writes that the former Vice President had a goal to remake the power structure of several countries in that part of the world.

Cheney "would have worked through the whole lot, Iraq, Syria, Iran, dealing with all their surrogates in the course of it -- Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.," Blair wrote in his memoir, "A Journey."

Yeah?  And?

I seem to recall that the policy I was advocating back in Oct. - Dec. 2001 was to land every Marine on active duty at the time on the shores of Lebannon (and every jump-qualified Army-doggie on Libya) and set the rules of engagement to: "If it pops it's head up screaming 'Death to America', 'Die Infidels' or so much as 'Allah Akbar', you expedite it's appointment with those 72 Virginians. Repeat as necessary until you hit the western border of China." 

Sounds like VP Cheney and I would have gotten along just fine back then, ya Limey git.  Why don't you go crawl back under your rock and resume lamenting the fact that Maggie Thatcher still has bigger cojones than you do. :rotf: :fuelfire:

HI,

I agree with Cheney.  Bush declared a war on terror and said if you harbor terrorists you would be targeted.  Then he did not follow through.

Obama has it all figured out though, he is going to find Bin Laden in Afganistan and that will cause all the terrorism to come to a screeching halt!   :censored:
