. >>> dick cheney, from the sublime to the ridiculous.ick cheney can't stand the fact that his side lost the election, dick. that he and his neocons are under assault and in retreat, thank god. he's saying president obama is picking second class people. we'll be right back with the story of dick cheney. >>> also the white party. how did the gop become the home office for conservative whites? a fascinating new story in "the new republic" argues the cause is not overt racism but is based on the pre-civil war southern interpretation of the constitution shared by modern day republicans, you know, secession, nullification. >>> plus, the man who shot osama bin laden, we don't know his name yet and have never seen his face yet, but the member of the s.e.a.l. team who pulled the trigger three times has told his story to "esquire." we've got the author here tonight, phil bronstein. >>> let me finish with some thoughts on the stripe of republican dick cheney leads. the kind that would believe in him. this is "hardball," the place for politics.

dick cheney leads a certain type of republican. trust his word ignoring what he's done. he relies on the military instinctively. he likes military action. he offers himself as an oracle, a person who can see well into the future. yet, he's the one more than anyone was intent on taking us into iraq, claiming all the time would be treated as liberators. that there were nuclear weapons in the hands of sadham hussein. well, the question is when has dick che nurks ey been right? this weekend, he accused the president of what they call second-rate selections for a national security team. john kerry who was nearly elected president? these people like dick cheney offer their wisdom so fleely.

cheney's amnesia, but john brennan served as deputy director of the cia under bush and cheney as wellrector of the national counterterrorism center. does this mean dick cheney agreed to appoint a dismal and second rate individual to these crucial positions when he was in power? >> well, certainly vice president cheney would prefer if this administration were nominating people like scooter libby who was convicted and sentenced for things he did while serving as vice president cheney's chief of staff. it's not perplexing that cheney would take issue with chuck hagel who was a big critic of the iraq war. a little more perplexing on brennan who not only has served in republican and democratic administrations alike but got good marks from the republicans who were questioning him. >> okay. well, in that interview today, mr. cheney says he supports the president's approach to the use of drones, which i guess is hardly surprising, but if dick cheney recommends something, does it not behoove us to have second thoughts about it? >> well, you know what? it behooves us to have second thoughts abo

well, the question is when has dick cheney been right? this weekend he accused the president of making what he called second-rate selections for our national security team. hmm, john kerry is second rate? john kerry who volunteered for combat in vietnam and faced the enemy under fire? john kerry who was nearly elected president, a contest in which dick cheney didn't dare try for first base? chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, that john kerry? dick cheney reminds me of what my hero, winston churchill once said of people who stick around past their time, people like dick cheney offering their wisdom so freely. we need fewer peerages and more disappearages. that's "hardball" for now.

it's rather iffy. >> why did cheney say otherwise?ny, just to underscore how significant it was, he was centcom commander since 2007. his view of the intelligence was what the u.s. military's view was right up to 2001 which is saddam's much less of a threat today thn he had been ten years earlier. the weight of sanctions are closing in on him. >> everything -- >> his ability -- >> centcom -- the chief military guy in fighting the war. the chief guy. let's take a look at another example. vice president cheney in a pattern repeated over and over as he sold the iraq war. it would ignore all evidence that didn't make his, cheney's case. he tried to draw the connection between saddam hussein and the ringleader of the 9/11 hijackers, mohamed atta. remember his face. despite the fact that this link had been debunked totally by the fbi counterterrorism agent who was then detailed to the cia. here is more from the documentary, hubris. >> from prague comes a czech intelligence report of a photograph allegedly showing mohamed atta meeting with a

cheney, wolfowitz -- >> where did they lose that?e did go into iraq, did what they wanted us to do. why didn't it lead to that sort of nirvana -- >> can i just say one final thing on this point. chuck hagel in his confirmation hearing the other day said, when he was pressed by mccain, history will make the judgment on the iraq war and whether it was a good thing or a bad thing or the end product. but the verdict of history is already in on the selling of the war. that's the focus of this film and i think -- >> another key point. you asked a good question. why didn't it work? one reason is they weren't prepared. we go into this in the book. it's not part of the documentary as much, but what would happen after the invasion? they thought it would all happen by magic. what you might call hubris and arrogance that the world would fall into place according to the neocon vision, and they put no thought into what it would mean for iraqis. 100,000 were killed. >> it means a chance for shia to fight sunni. thank you, guys. david corn, michael

[ laughter ] i don't think we have a visual for that but -- [laughter] sorry former vice president you were criticizing. >> the administration's policies are terribly flawed. the president came to power with a world view that is fundamentally different. the president has made choices in part based on people who won't argue with him. he wanted to reduce u.s. influence in the world. he wanted to take us do

tonight, a conversation with dick cheney. >> you know, for seven and a half years we kept the country safe from any follow on attacks, mass casualty attacks of the type of 9/11. we had good reason to believe that we were, in fact, likely to be targeted again. we did everything we could think of within the law blessed by the lawyers over in the justice department to make certain that that didn't happen again. we're in a situation now, charlie, what i worry about now, what i worried about then, is that the next attack isn't going to be guys armed with airline tickets and box cutters, it will be with chemical weapons or maybe even a nuke or just a dirty nuke, a truck full of stuff that you set off and you can spread radioactive material around the landscape. those are the kinds of attacks we have to guard against. it's not going to be just 3,000 people killed in one day. >> rose: cheney for the hour, next. captioning sponsored by rose communications from our studios in new york city, this is charlie rose. >> rose: the story of dick cheney is the story of power. he served two terms as vic
