he is sort of more cheney than the cheney we knew. things we always suspected he thought or knew he thought but he never said out loud, he says here. >> cheney says he wouldn't change a thing. i mean, how do you possibly explain this kind of thinking, that there is no admission of any mistake whatsoever? >> well, that alone is a part of cheney's ideology, never to look back and never to acknowledge any change of heart. look, the fact is if you were to ask dick cheney would you like to trade whatever results you think you've obtained in iraq for, you know, over a trillion dollars in costs when you consider the indirect costs and probably 100,000 lives in iraq and nearly 5,000 american lives, it's very hard for me to believe he would say yeah, i'll take that deal. but he can't admit that, looking back. >> here is the former vice president on waterboarding, his answer. here it is. >> you don't consider a prolonged period of creating the sensation of drowning, you don't consider it torture? >> i don't. tell me what terrorist attacks is it

cheney to lie when he testified alongside president bush to the nine eleven commission so why can'tchange seem to keep the story straight and what implications does this have for the larger narrative pushed forward by the nine eleven commission to discuss this and more i'm joined by robbie martin independent journalist and co-host of various radio thanks for coming on thanks for having me so robby cheney changes a story let me just briefly explain why in this documentary on showtime he says that there was a shoot down order that he actually said he was going to shoot down the plane to save lives which actually contradicts the nine eleven commission report that says that there was no order made why do you think it changes story here well because i think that he probably thought the people didn't remember that he had presidential emergency powers on that day and i mean the testimony shows the. cheney you know was at least criminally culpable for not issuing an evacuation order from the pentagon. and on top of that he you know he was acting as a purchase the president the time because

cheney was at least criminally culpable for not issuing an evacuation order from the pentagon.and on top of that he you know he was acting as a purchase the president the time because bush was in the air the whole day yeah and you know what this is actually a really important aspect of this because norman minetta has a really important testimony from the transportation secretary who actually testified for the commission it was omitted from the official report but he says that there was some sort of order made and let's hear this testimony. during the time that the earth plane coming in to the pentagon. there was a young man who would come in and say to the vice president the plane is fifty miles a plane is thirty miles out when he got down to the plane is ten miles you know. the young man also said to the vice president do the orders still stand and then the vice president turned in. who has now come around and said. student have you heard do you think to the contrary ok so here he is saying the order still stands cheney's directing rizzo's obviously there was an order for some

there's dick cheney back again. never a popular figure among a lot of people in the left and center. he interviewed george w. bush, does he agree cheney was the boss? >> oh, sure! chris: how do you delicately get to, a lot of people think cheney was the power behind the throne? >> president obama would -- president bush would never make a administration even if it were true. he was command ner chief and proud of the fact and said it on. let's put it this way, if you had a former secretary of defense on your staff as your vice president, when we were hit on 9/11, wouldn't you turn to him for advice? chris: why go to war with a country that had nothing to do with until until >> -- with 9/11? >> you have to ask them that. i have no idea. chris: it's an attempt ton his part to resuscitate his image somehow. >> really? that's what i find admirable about cheney. he will actually go out in public and say yes, i authorize the torture of people and i'm proud of it. and conventions can go jump off a cliff and i'm glad of it.

dick cheney, everybody calls him cheney because he doesn't care what you do, recently appeared in a documentary about his life and legacy. he says he has no regrets. let's watch cheney. >> i did what i did. it's all on the public record, and i feel very good about it. if i had to do it over again, i'd do it in it a minute. >> cheney's right about one thing. it is all on the public record. what would that record show? what it shows is an unbelievable string of lies, distortions and inept analysis on the part of him, the former vp. take a look. >> regime change in iraq would bring about a number of benefits to the region. when the gravest of threats are eliminated the freedom loving peoples of the region will have a chance to promote the values that can bring lasting peace. simply stated, there is no doubt that saddam hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. there is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us. >> do you think the american people are prepared for a long, costly, and bloody battle with a significant american casualties? >> i

cheney is saying, we've got to do it.e is there. >> he had the personnel, the know-how, the raw material, and he had the desire to get back into the business big time. >> you said we had a lot of allies out there but i haven't seen the arabs supporting the allies against iraq. >> i think they are uniformly concerned about the situation in iraq. >> bush is insecure as president. cheney brilliantly exploits this. >> joiping me thank you for joining me tonight. tell us, what did he say about his role inside the white house. >> he will with, well, he descr detail the decisions made about september 11th and it's very clear that while he spoke about advising about the president and said that that was his job, he was driving policy. >> how was he driving policy? when he said he got controlled or got into his brain and used his insecurities, exactly what do we see in the film? and committed to making sure no other attacks happen on american soil and referred to the 1% doctrine. if there's a 1% chance that a state is going to aid

what was your sense of dick cheney?my sense is that he he's a man who does not like to look back on the past. he likes to look forward. he he does not like to examine the possibility of mistakes that might have happened in the past or, you know, to even -- go ahead. cenk: isn't that amazing. >> it is. cenk: i've made probably a thousand mistakes in my life, and i can't -- it's a weird scene that you almost get out of the movie like no conscience on the torture waterboarding, et cetera and no conscience on thinking back maybe i should have done that a little different. hell, i did it, tortured, invaded the wrong country no conscience. is that an accurate read of it? >> i would say so. i think that that's the way that he lives his life, and that's the way that we all know that he operated in his career. cenk: tell me the up side. is dick cheney light and fluffy, you know, personally, like hey buddy, how are you doing big guy, let's go to a movie and have popcorn. >> one thing that surprised me the most about him the most

unbelievable and i think a lot of other people don't realize i briefly mention ensure that cheney andbush testified together not under oath and this is where you can't really be a claim for perjury or anything like that because they were under oath they testified together let's see that bush responding to some questions about why they did this. because you know a lot of critics suggested that you wanted to appear jointly with the vice president so that you could keep your story straight or something and you tell us what you think of the value of appearing together and how you would answer those critics yeah first of all look i mean if we had something to hide we wouldn't met with them in the first place we had all their questions and as i say i think. i came away good about the session. because i wanted them to know. you know how i said strategy how we run the white house how we deal with threats. the vice president answered a lot of their questions answered all their questions and i think it's important for them to see our body language as well how we work together so i mean there is

cheney says i have no regrets. >> right. of course, that's mr. cheney who when it was his generation's war in vietnam got four deferments and said i had better things to do. but it was my generation who was serving when he was really quick to get us in wars that were unnecessary and had no connection to 9/11 and afghanistan. >> now, richard, i think that when i talked about the fearmongering, in the aftermath of 9/11, people were absolutely on edge. >> sure, they were. >> absolutely nervous. so you could understand people being misled. and some of us that were out early against this war were looked upon with great disdain. >> yep. >> but here we are today ten years later, and you still have senators like mccain and graham who today are saying that we should be part of the same kind of policy in syria. let me show you what they said. the provision of arms to vetted syrian opposition groups, targeted strikes against assad's aircraft and scud missile batteries on the ground and the establishment of safe zones inside syria to protect civilians and op

made out very well dick cheney he had when he was c.e.o. of halliburton in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine they acquired dresser industries which had this huge a specialist liability and it was a very very bad business decision and dick cheney's halliburton was that close to bankruptcy and then we got the war in iraq and cheney was still sitting on hundreds of thousands of halliburton shares and we got the war in iraq and all of a sudden halliburton got all these no bid contracts and now they're sitting pretty and then doing very well so we know that those two guys made out like bandits from that war paul and param minnesota funds and they're right all thanks for calling you want to talk about bradley manning. i was just curious. what the people do to show their support for what i call a patriot because we have very few patriots left and you're doing a good job. thanks paul thanks for the call there is a bradley manning support group i'm sorry i don't have the website memorized off the top my head but it should be fairly easy to find

when they testified together cheney kept up the pretense -- w and cheney kept up the pretense that theng blind sided again and again. in this film it's dick cheney essentially. he was supposed to be vetting vice president candidates cheney was demanding so much material from, there was always something to pick on. he filled the president's head while protesting that he himself did not want the job, he hired all of his people including bush senior's nemesis and goosing up w's insecurities to take advantage of them. and cherry pick his plans on iraq. >> dick cheney was the first self appointed president. >> sounds like a bully. >> stephanie: are you going to trade the lives of a number of people because you want to protect your honor? he closes by saying you are were a misguided power monger who lead this nation into a calamity. sleep on that. >> they are flying planes to get the bin laden family out of the country. >> stephanie: hum. george in missouri. >> caller: hi. i was wondering doesn't it seem like the liberal journalists are being really lazy by not digging into why paul is doing

here was dick cheney.et's watch. >> do you think the american people are prepared for a long, costly, and bloody battle with significant american casualties? >> i don't think it's likely to unfold that way, tim, because i really do believe we will be liberators. >> well, there's bill kristol, one of the other leading war hawks. he said he predicted the duration of the war would be short as well. let's listen to this group think here. >> whatever else you can say about this war, let me just make one point. george bush is not fighting this like vietnam. we don't need to re-fight the history of vietnam. >> saddam -- >> it's not going to happen. this is going to be a two-month war, not an eight-year war. >> daniel ellsberg who knew about earlier wars. >> they said whatever it took. they had no backup for this sort of stuff. we were talking at the time to analysts in the strategic war colleges and others who were coming up with reports saying this could take forever. we don't know the difference between a sunni

do you like dick cheney? >> well, he certainly was very generous with his time.sat with me for 20 hours over four days. on the fifth day invited my team to go fly fishing with him. and supported the making of this film. so i'm grateful to him for that. my apologies -- >> a hard word to use for -- >> an engaging man and somebody who is committed to his point of view. and committed to, i think to the establishment of a legacy that's consistent with his point of view. he believes that what he did in his time in office and really over his 40-year career was the right thing. he believes that his convictions are the right convictions. he's not at all a man in retreat. but, you know, my politics really are beside the point here. this is a film that is examining as you say one of the most significant vice presidents i would argue one of the most consequential non-presidential political figures this country has known. and to tell his story the way history will understand it. >> let's look at another clip from dick cheney talking about terrorism and how you deal with it. >

dick cheney, we saw in the film, said in august of 2002, he's amassing weapons of mass destruction. no doubt to use against us. so that was the big overall point. they knew it was, you know, a lot of people knew it was wrong, or iffy at best. when he says no doubt, there was plenty of doubt. >> there's two ways to look at this, right? one way is say, 9/11, who is this horrendous trauma for the nation, and scares people, completely understandably, right? the thought of that happening again is horrific to think of. that plus unskupulous leaders is the equation? >> you can't think they thought they were unscrupulous. they continue onwards with it, i believe they had an agenda, but i think ultimately, they thought they were doing the right thing. they had sort of negotiated with themselves on this. and it was a sort of -- must have been, and i would wander what you think, a collecting sense inside the administration that we're doing what's right for the american people. saddam hussein is a bad guy and we're taking him out. >> a certain point is this is what has to be done. how do we get

and then the world around dick cheney changes even though the world according to dick cheney doesn'that's where the tragic structure comes in. i tell the tale. it's not my role to make the judgment. it's not my role to prosecute. it's my role to tell the story, and i believe history will agree that this is the truth about who dick cheney was, what he believed, how he did what he did, and its impact on this country. >> it took you something like seven months to actually get him to agree to do this film. how much time did you spend with him, and did you end up liking him as a man? >> we spoke over a four-day period. five hours a day. a total of 20 hours. then on the fifth day, as you mentioned, he invited us to go fly fishing with him. it's the first time he'd gone fly fishing since his heart attack. and he was very welcoming to us. i mean, he -- he was cordial and friendly and, yes, it's hard, i think, not to like him as a person. he's very engaging. politics are a different issue, and we have different politics and that's something that was no secret to him. he knew that, and i was v

bush and richard bruce cheney would have gone to war

they want to go into iraq. >> two weeks after the speech, cheney again mace hic chen ginzbur cheney again. >> he is acquiring the equipment he needs in order to build uranium rich weapons of mass destruction. >> saddam and nukes, a terrifying prospect based on the cia discovery that iraq is attempting to purchase 60,000 aluminum tubes. some analyst become convinced that the tubes are intended to be used in center fuses to make uranium for weapons. soon after the discovery, the department of energy gets hold of the actual tubes and asked engineering professor houston wood, an expert on gas center fusions to evaluate them. >> from the information they gave me, it took about 15 minutes to come to the conclusion that the tubes could not be used for gas infusions. they are too thick. too heavy. >> the energy department concludes that the tubes are for conventional rockets, not for nuclear weapons. but cia analyst stick to their position that the tubes are for center fuses and the white house embraces that position. administration sources leak the disputed findings to "the new york times" in se

did the right thing dick cheney is almost universally people if you can count on one it isn't as you love me but he was good to his daughter he's good on gay rights i mean cheney's position is actually the position of many people in the g.o.p. including rubio which is leave it up to the states which creates a two party system in which. people are eligible to be married in some states and go to other states and those marriages are valid which is how dumb it works so what cheney has done and what rubio has done is not say you know states should states that decide on gay marriage and that's that's what they want but it is fact it creates a two tiered system where. players only bigotry explains why you can't marry your second cousin and two thirds of the biology strikes or no it doesn't unless you have that this. limit is involved that is not true. corrected but my point is people look at these issues and they can act in a manner that just because you don't agree with it makes it what you train your second she doesn't have to do is saying that somebody who was born with you with dark ski

let's watch cheney. >> i did what i did.s all on the public record, and i feel very good about it. ♪ ♪ >> if i had to do it all over again i'd do it in a minute. >> cheney's right about one thing. it is all in the public record and what would that record show? what it shows is an unbelievable string lies, distortions and inept analysis on the part of him, the former v.p. take a look. >> regime change in iraq would bring about a number of benefits to the region. when the gravest of threats are eliminated the freedom of-loving peoples of the region would have the chance to promote values that could bring lasting peace. >> simply stated, there is no doubt that saddam hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. there is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies and against us. >> do you think the american people are prepared for a long, costly and bloody battle with a significant american casualties? >> i don't -- i don't think it's likely to unfold that way, tim, because i think we will b

and seven congressman you actually introduced articles of impeachment against george bush and dick cheney when you look at things like nixon for wiretapping clinton being ousted for an affair how is it that these two men could not be held accountable for initiating an illegal war based on known lies well i think we have to place. the responsibility for that on the shoulders of democratic leadership. because we could have moved forward with impeachment but the democratic leadership wouldn't do it now there has to be accountability there's a marker. it is widely understood today that war was based on lies so then should not since the catastrophe of the war resulted in thousands of americans being killed tens of thousands injured maybe a million innocent iraqis died perhaps damaged in the hundreds of billions of dollars to iraq should there be some kind of bill and so what i've called for is a process of truth and reconciliation like south africa had many years ago where leaders are required to come forward and state their role in the decision making process and if they lie then they're subj

my god, cheney headed up halliburton for the 1990s. he had oil on the mind all the time.inning the oil in iraq. these guys failed at their own game, the neocons. >> mike, as you look forward at iraq's, from iraq's current position into the future, what are your expectations for that nation? >> it's a great question, martin. you know, it's the crucial question, as we think about this day. i was just on a tv show with foreign minister zubari of iraq. he was disappointed in his own colleagues in hair inability to compromise on key issues about iraq's future. he is worried about future violence in iraq and all the violence today you mentioned in your intro. i think iraqi leaders ultimately have been chastised enough by what they've sewn in the course of their lives and the course of the last ten years that my hope -- i don't want to go quite so far as to say my expectation -- my hope is they will pull back from the brink and that frankly the last five years as ugly as they've been have been better than the five years before that. and i do expect gradual slow progress in iraq.

ten years after the a war in iraq began the veteran sends a letter to george bush and dick cheney bashing them for the needless war vet is dying in a hospice right now coming up we'll speak with thomas young about his letter that has gone viral. big brother is keeping an eye on you while drones are used most often by the u.s. for warfare overseas more and more police departments here at home are using them to spy on citizens this week lawmakers heard about concerns of this growing practice we'll tell you about that hearing in just a bit. and over five million people have been stopped and frisked by n.y.p.d. police officers and the vast majority of those people were minorities innocent to say the least but thanks to several whistleblowers we are now learning more about this controversial program in the ways that police officers are implementing it will take a look at stop and frisk in just a bit. it's friday march twenty second five pm in washington d.c. i'm meghan lopez and you are watching r.t. . well we've spent a lot of time this week taking a critical look at the war in iraq the misco

to wait for dick cheney? >> no points after rob portman or rob portman's sons in the daily news. and i think dick cheney had a lot to do with it. i think by 2016, i think republicans are the ones who will have a very, very tough time with this issue. and this is classic wedge politics where the idea is to divide your opponent's base. the republicans will be divide between their libertarian base which is more on the economic side and the he evangelical side which they built the modern republican party on starting with ronald reagan. >> you're absolutely right. when i hear hillary clinton and claire mccaskill announcing their support for same-sex marriage, oh, i thought they already did. why do they need to check that box now. let's talk about that other side. the republican response going forward into 2016. you already touched on the demographics. they have a base that wants to see marriage protected in that traditional way. and they are turning away a lot of younger voters by their lack of support for marriag

dennis q senate if you can recall he called for the impeachment of president george bush and dick cheney liars are weapons of mass destruction lies are also an impeachable offense this is in golf you don't get a do over the resolution articles or impeachment of george bush president of the united states. go to consent to chat us and sign the impeachment petition for the former congressman joins us now in our studio as we reflect on the past decade much of his son it's great to have you here so you have consistently been a vocal critic of the iraq war and looking back on the past ten years what's going through your mind. more that would goes from my mind i can feel this in my heart you know i'm heartsick over. the loss of our troops over the debts of perhaps as many as a million innocent iraqis the destruction of that country the destruction of our own priorities here at home the rising debt borrowing money to wage a war the say it's been a nightmare and frankly those who made the decisions to take us there have not yet been held accountable and i want to bring this up yesterday i spoke t
