It gets better. Several officials claim that they knew of his background, but could not give any answers as to why he was still hired.

OK, you can return to your silly photos and stupid comments.

Not opinion. Reporting a story.

Apparently Faux News failed to cover it. Go figure. :rolleyes:

You can't count back eight years and figure out that it was Dick Cheney? Specifically what he did was lie about weapons of mass destruction being in Iraq so as to start a war that led to the deaths of over 4,000 U.S. Troops.

Homer - opinion pieces aren't" news stories ".

Apparently - but not surprisingly - you don't know the difference between news and opinion. This is from the first link I posted:

A former judge at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) said former US Vice President Dick Cheney should - and eventually will - stand trial for war crimes for his role in the Iraq War.

"Some of us have long thought that Cheney and a number of CIA agents who did what they did in those so-called black holes should appear before the International Criminal Court" (ICC) - Thomas Buergenthal said in an interview with Newsweek.

Buergenthal, 81, served as a judge at the ICJ - the main judicial arm of the United Nations - for 10 years before retiring in 2010.The ICJ, unlike the ICC, has no jurisdiction to try individuals accused of war crimes or crimes against humanity. As the ICJ is not a criminal court, it does not have a prosecutor able to initiate such proceedings.

Former International Court of Justice judge Thomas Buergenthal

Buergenthal was born in the former Czechoslovakia and survived the Auschwitz concentration camp as a boy. He is now a US citizen and a professor of law at George Washington University in Washington, DC. "We (in the United States) could have tried them ourselves," Buergenthal said of Cheney and others. "I voted for Obama, but I think he made a great mistake when he decided not to instigate legal proceedings against some of these people. I think - yes - that it will happen."

Not much fact in that "article". Plenty of opinion though.

Didn't Congress vote on the Iraq War? Are they guilty of war crimes as well?

BTW, I think the war was a mistake in hindsight. But mainly because as a country we don't have the stomach to finish what we choice to start.
