Maine Candidate Denies Cheney Sainthood, Media Feigns Shock
Platner’s crime? Suggesting Cheney should be held accountable for the Iraq War, rather than placed on a pedestal. This mainstream outrage conveniently sidesteps the 2003 invasion, based on fabricated WMD intelligence, which led to a catastrophic regional destabilization and hundreds of thousands of deaths. (Remember Scooter Libby and the Plame affair? The media certainly tries not to.) While Dick
Cheney enjoys a comfortable retirement, his legacy includes a war that cost trillions, empowered Iran, and spawned ISIS. The prevailing media narrative insists figures like Cheney are beyond reproach, demanding respectful silence while their policies continue to echo across the globe. One might wonder: where was this 'decorum' when an entire country was being dismantled?
