"Dick Cheney warns of potential 9/11 with ‘much deadlier weapons’"

“The Obama agreement will lead to a nuclear-armed Iran, a nuclear-arms race in the Middle East and, more than likely, the first use of a nuclear weapon since Hiroshima and Nagasaki”, he said, referring to the US dropping of atomic bombs in the two Japanese cities in 1945, killing more than 200,000 people, thus forcing Japan to surrender in World War II. He has imposed limits on our ability to modernize and maintain nuclear weapons.

Cheney further criticized Mr. Obama’s handling of the Iran nuclear deal saying some agreements had “nothing to do with the nuclear side of the business”.

In one instance, Britain’s former foreign secretary David Miliband, said in August 2014 that “It’s clearly the case that the invasion of Iraq, or more importantly what happened afterwards, is a significant factor in understanding the current situation in the country”.

“I think what you can do is, if Congress will reject the deal, which I hope they will, and override president’s veto, then you can go back to negotiating table”, Cheney said Monday on “CBS This Morning“.

“But well before that, Iran will get hundreds of billions of dollars of sanctions relief and investments to fuel its aggression and terrorism in the Middle East, in North Africa and beyond. He has reduced the nation’s missile-defense capabilities”, they continued.

But former U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno, who was one of the architects of the 2007 surge and a top official in Iraq, has disputed that the decision to leave Iraq was Obama’s. The White House has reacted by fiercely defending the deal.

“President Obama told us he would never accept a deal based on trust…Instead, the Obama deal provides the Iranians with months to delay inspections and fails to address past clandestine work at military sites”, they wrote. In order to save ourselves, we need to kill the Iran deal.

U.S. Republicans are largely united against the agreement, and have allied themselves with Netanyahu’s government against it.

“When we got through in Iraq at the end of our administration, Iraq was in good shape”. “We have to make sure that we don’t impugn people’s motives even as we have what is a very serious debate”. The webcast was hosted by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the Jewish Federations of North America.

Like all grownups, Cheney claimed that his part of the Iraq war was a success, any failures are President Obama’s fault.

Meanwhile, Obama gained a new Democratic supporter for the deal when Sen. Ted Cruz plan to hold next month to a “pro-war rally”. Obama’s weakness is particularly disturbing, the Cheneys say, because American leadership will be essential “for the defeat of militant Islam”.

Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, said Friday that Republicans were still waiting for the president to retract that assertion.

The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly Saddam can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.
- Condoleezza Rice

"Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof—the smoking gun—that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."
- G.W. Bush

"I don't believe anyone that I know in the administration ever said that Iraq had nuclear weapons."
- Donald Rumsfeld

Nothing wrong with a mushroom cloud as long as it isn't over our country.

I always had an image of DC as a Darth Vader civilian. That said in the world of weapons nuclear is the weapon that will get the rest of the world after you. You want to unify the world against your threat, go ahead and set one of on some one else's capitol and see what happens. Now launch a major white powder incident, self limiting, use a disease that can spread faster, and is resistant, well now you may have something.
