    Speaking with Vice President Mike Pence this weekend, Cheney warned that Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from Syria and complaints about NATO were making American allies question the dependability of the U.S. as a partner.

    The two vice presidents were appearing at a closed-door retreat hosted by the American Enterprise Institute in Sea Island, Georgia.

    A person in the room confirmed Cheney’s remarks, which were first reported by The Washington Post. The person requested anonymity because of the conference’s off-the-record nature.

    The chain smoking Cheney, who brought about his four heart attacks (4 packs of cigarettes a day), actually had a heart transplant when he was well into his 70’s. However, the average schlemiel over a certain age, would have been rejected for a heart transplant. How did Cheney manage to pull that off? How much influence or possibly gelt was used, in order to enable Cheney to have a new heart?

    Regarding Cheney criticizing Trump’s foreign policy, it was Dick Cheney, along with Don Rumsfeld, and Karl Rove, who helped convince Bush to invade Iraq. The invasion and occupation of Iraq for over eight years was a disaster. Thousands of American and Iraqi lives were lost for nothing; Bush just didn’t like Saddam Hussein, and got involved in a no-win war. He should have learned the 1965-73 lesson of Vietnam, when the USA also got itself involved in a prolonged no win war. To this date, none of the incompetents mentioned above will admit that they made a mistake. At least Robert McNamara, before he died, admitted that we were wrong in Vietnam.
