one man familiar with dick cheney's handling of iraq is joe wilson. chief mission during desert shield. let's recall the role wilson played in the run up to the iraq invasi invasion. in 2002, he was sent to investigate reports that iraq purchased uranium yellow cake. shortly after president bush made charges about iraqi effort to buy uranium from africa, in the 2003 state of the union address, ambassador wilson questioned the american justification for going to war with iraq in the piece in the times. eight days later, his wife valerie plame was outed as a cia officer. she was charged on lying to investigators and obstruction of justice. i had the opportunity to ask him earlier about the crisis in iraq. >> i think those who talk about the president having withdrawn our forces too soon forget it was president bush who initiated that prior to leaving office. the bigger picture, i think now, iraq is in a perilless situation. it will only get worse. prime minister maliki purged sunnis from the important positions. his troops in mosul and the sunni-dominat

. >> joining me now, former ambassador, joe wilson, he was a u.s. diplomat in iraq under saddam hussein from 1988 to 1991. his wife was outed adds a cia agent after he wrote an op-ped publicly debunking the claim george w. bush made. he's the author of "politics of truth." joe, i'd like to hear your reaction to watching the #benghazi world of scandal continue to cycle despite the fact it has been factually debunked. >> well, i think they just make things up. that's very clear. and the problem with all of the flapping of the gums by the right wing ecochamber and by their allies up on the hill is it undermines our ambassador's ability to do the work of our country. if i'm an ambassador and there and have to worry about what darrell issa, lindsey graham, john mccain are going to say if an operation goes bad, i may not be inclined to do nigh job which is to reach out and meet people who may not be that friendly to me. on a second note, let me say personally, my colleagues in the foreign service share this view, i think what they have done with their mon

joining us is joe wilson, was the former chief admission in baghdad.time. ambassador, thanks very much for joining us. >> good to be with you, wolf. >> what do you think of the president's strategy right now, deploying another 300 special operations forces, advisers, if you will, to go back to iraq right now to help the iraqis? >> well, i'm not sure what i -- if i understand the mission. as i heard it describe earlier today on your show and then by the president, it's to go in and sort of assess whether or not the training that we gave the iraqi military for eight years has taken hold, if they can effectively function as a military service. the problem with that, it seems to me as the mission, is it will be seen by the sunnis as our taking sides against them in a sectarian conflict, something which others on your show have already spoken to earlier today and in other days. >> so what advice would you give in. >> the extent to which we're in there at all, it should be strictly focus tond terrorists mission, the decapitation of isis or isil, whichever yo

lot of dastardly deeds, one the outing of valerie and the attempt to get her husband ambassador joe wilson and the mixing of some of the staff. the comment about leaving soldiers on the battlefield i find risible because cheney has never been a soldier. he went out of his way not to be a soldier, five deferments as you pointed out and in my view shouldn't be speaking about things military because he has absolutely zero knowledge of things military. i say that even though i served with general powell when he was chairman and cheney was secretary of defense. the beauty of that administration was not dick cheney. the beauty was george h.w. bush and colin powell. >> colonel, what about dick cheney's thoughts on staying in iraq and afghanistan? and i also want to ask you about, do you think he is the attack dog for the conservatives in this country when it comes to foreign policy because he has nothing to lose? i cite it back to the spring of 2009 when president obama was enjoying some tremendous ratings, the country was moving forward trying to because the economy was bad. president was in hig
