Hell Has Frozen Over.

Fox News host Megyn Kelly had former human and Vice President Dick Cheney and his comedy sidekick daughter/Cheneybot programmer Liz Cheney on her show last night, and she actually confronted him on his mendacity of saying Barack Obama got it wrong in Iraq. You can she the video above, but here is some quotes of the exchange.

“But time and time again, history has proven that you got it wrong as well in Iraq, sir,” Kelly said. “You said there was no doubt Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. You said the Iraq insurgency was in the last throes, back in 2005. And you said that after our intervention extremists would have to ‘rethink their strategy of jihad.'”

“Now with almost a trillion dollars spent there, with 4,500 American lives lost there, what do you say to those who say you were so wrong about so much at the expense of so many?” she asked.

“No, I just fundamentally disagree, Reagan — Megyn,” Cheney responded. “You’ve got to go back and look at the track record. We inherited a situation where there was no doubt in anybody’s mind about the extent of Saddam’s involvement in weapons of mass destruction.”

You can here a robotic ERROR ERROR message when Cheney says “Reagan.” For it means Cheneybot is defaulting to its blue screen of death when confronted with the truth. And here we go again with the fundamentally disagree bullshit. You cannot, and are not allowed to, fundamentally disagree on established fact. Established fact is not an opinion, it is a fact. It is evidence. You cannot change a fact, like you can an opinion. A fact cannot be disproven, like a theory or an opinion can. It is a fact that the Iraqi insurgency lasted way beyond the last throes remark in 2005. It’s fact. There is no denying it. You cannot fundamentally disagree with that. It is a fact that Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. That is now fact. It is a fact that we were not greeted as liberators. It is a fact that the invasion and occupation would pay for itself, as Rumsfeld claimed.

Where we can disagree, Mr. Cheney, is on whether going into Iraq based on false (or falsified) information and with no plan for what follows was the greatest foreign policy blunder in the history of the United States if not the world. There we can disagree. For you, Mr. Cheney, are an Imperialist. You want the US occupying nations throughout the Middle East. So you do not care how many trillions of dollars are spent and how many thousands of Americans die or for how many years we are there, so long as we are there controlling things. That is what you believe. And it is long past time that you were at least honest about that.

But the point of this post is not to once again rip into Darth Cheney. But to give credit to Reagan Megyn Kelly. Sure, she will go off the rails again tonight with some conspiracy trope or guest, but last night, for a brief moment, she got in a Republican’s face on the Republican Propaganda Network. Nice job.
