BRAVO ! ! !

Political analyst Lawrence O'Donnell said what needed to be said. On a recent TV show, Morning Joe, O'Donnell got into a heated debate with host Joe Scarborough over Dick Cheney's accusations that Obama is "dithering while America's armed forces are in danger." Said O'Donnell, as reported on HuffingtonPost:

The dithering thing is great because Cheney, of course, did not dither, did not dither for a minute, when the time came to make a wild guess, an outright crazy wild guess, about are there weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. And Cheney sat there in the White House and said, you know what, I've got everything I need to make my wild guess. On the basis of my wild guess I'm going to tell the country it's an actual fact, and then I'm gonna help send American soldiers there to die over a lie. No dithering when it came time to do that.

An upset Scarborough replied that "every major Democrat on the national scene, including Joe Biden, believed Saddam had weapons of mass destruction." O'Donnell countered that no Democrats had access to the high-level intelligence available to Cheney, evidence that painted a far more skeptical picture of Saddam's nuclear capabilities than the one Cheney painted for the American public.

That is exactly what needed to be said -- again and again until dick cheney crawls back into his bunker over there on "the dark side."
