NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO OF CHENEY IN IRAQ SPINNING SUCCESS OF THE WAR

Vice President Dick Cheney made a surprise visit to Iraq on Monday and in this YouTube video Cheney talks about all the successes that have been accomplished since the United States invaded and occupied Iraq five years ago. Cheney boasts about how the Iraqi people held an election and now have a functioning government. He also pays respects to General Petraeus and "the surge." There are only a couple of glowing errors in Cheney's robust report. The Iraqi government is a government in name only. They haven't accomplished anything. "The Surge" is more of a tribute to the Sunni tribal leaders in Anbar province who ran the terrorists out of their town and cities than anything the U.S. military has done. Not seen here, but during his press conference, Cheney is still clinging to the notion that Saddam Hussein had links with Al Qaeda before the war even though all intelligence proves otherwise.
