Those hoping to kill the international nuclear agreement with Iran have faced a variety of obstacles, but one in particular has proven hard to overcome: their own track record.
Just as there are a variety of Republicans and their allies pushing for an armed confrontation with Iran now, many of these same people were cheerleaders for the invasion of Iraq 13 years ago. Indeed, many have tried to find even one person who was right about Iraq in 2002 and 2003 who also now opposes the diplomatic solution with Iran. So far, no names have popped up. But as MSNBC’s Zack Roth reported, Dick Cheney doesn’t much care. The failed former vice president has a new book in which he not only condemns President Obama’s foreign policy, but he tries to defend his own tarnished legacy – especially on the subject of Iraq.
