Wallace Smacks Down Cheney: Iran Buildup Happened On Your Watch

Posted by | September 6, 2015 18:00 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


Chris Wallace reminded Dick Cheney who is really responsible for Iran’s nuclear buildup.

…Wallace forced former Vice President Dick Cheney to admit that Iran’s centrifuges went from zero to 5,000 under his watch, not President Barack Obama’s.

During an interview on Fox News, Cheney refused to back down from his assertion that Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran was like Neville Chamberlain appeasing Hitler.

“If you look at what happened with respect to [Obama’s] Iranian deal, the only winners are Iranians,” he argued. “The losers are the United States, are the friends and allies of the United States in the region, the Israelis the Saudis and others.”

“I think it’s a big deal, a major, major defeat — in my mind — in terms of our position in the region.”

Wallace pointed out that Cheney had eight years to deal with Iran’s nuclear program and failed to do it.

“You and President Bush, the Bush-Cheney administration, dealt with Iran for eight years, and I think it was fair to say that there was never any real, serious military threat,” Wallace noted. “Iran went from zero known centrifuges in operation to more than 5,000.”

“So in fairness, didn’t you leave — the Bush-Cheney administration — leave President Obama with a mess?” the Fox News host asked.

        it got very weird after eric asked his question and even eric is starting to believe we were better off with Saddam Husein

        • Mike September 6th, 2015 at 19:27

          And he’s the dumb one…I’m shocked at the number of so called journalists that won’t question or call this slug out on his lies…some days I want to throw rocks at the TV

            if it wasn’t for eric we wouldn’t have known about how the bush admin took out Saddam’s nukes or do they call it centrifuges ( 0:43 ) but ..but chris wallace asked why 5,000 were left in iran and our troops found no WMDs in iraq ??

    Father and daughter rabid anti-Obama team always show up together. Is she around as his PA, nurse because of his health condition or is he grooming her to be like him a monster?

    I wish the Dems had or should have a Benghazi style investigation on him & Bush admin on the real 9/11 disaster because they ignored intelligence and the Iraq war based on falsehood on WMD. You really have to give the GOP big credit for their dogged determination to whip up fabricated scandals and lies… they never let up on Benghazi, anti-Obamacare (repealed over 50 crazy times), Iran deal, etc. like flogging dead horse resolve.

    I loved it everytime David Lettermen mentioned Dick Cheney in his show, his band made a down-in-the-dungeon horrible terrifying screams and sounds.

    I am truly surprised Chris Wallace said this to Dr. Death….for once I can say “Well Done” to a Fox Fux.

    Party of personal responsibility my ass.

    Even faux entertainment doesn’t believe evil dick’s creations anymore.

    I’m getting sick and tired of all these “news” programs. Those interviewing have no guts to call these people out on their twisted “facts”. Even Andrea Mitchell, who I had respect for, is more worried about why Bernie and Hillary aren’t going after each other. Damn, if you’re not fighting you don’t have anything to say and if you’re lying you get a pass or we can’t flaunt and taunt you around every other outlet… I get better truths reading European blogs and news sites.

    Wallace is usually a pretty good stooge (as stooges go…) but… every once in a while… he seems to remember what his job IS.

      I’m sure he’ll get called on the carpet for this digression from the script Ailes has drawn up.

    Fox has moved closer to the middle, they’ll have nothing to lie about if a republican is elected prez….oh wait…I mean…oh well

    • Dwendt44 September 6th, 2015 at 23:25

      Why would that stop them? They spewed falsehoods, exaggerations, and distortions while Bush, I mean Cheney was holding the reins of power. They just use they gullible audience to hate Obama and love Bush, I mean Cheney.

    Dickhead and Liz The Loser have nothing. They are yesterday’s news but they just can’t bring themselves to admit it….

  10. Tommie September 6th, 2015 at 23:51

    Wallace better be careful unless these were “planned” questions he might be looking for a new job! Cheney forgets that it is not just America who approves of this deal, how many nations agreed with our involvement in the Iraq invasion?

  11. Bunya September 7th, 2015 at 13:44

    What a load of bullshit! Dubya and the Dickster had a plan to make a bundle off the Iraq war and ended up screwing everything up in that region. Now he blames Obama??? How can anyone interview this man without wanting to punch him in the face?
