Evil Dick Cheney would have LOVED THE HELL out of this "Run Venezuela & Seize Their Oil" thing

I don't care HOW OPPOSED he was to Trump.

He said that Iraq's oil would pay for the conflict and reconstruction.

And, he said we'd be greeted as liberators.

OOOOOPS.

after instigating the overthrow of the new democratically elected president of Iran, so that BP and Shell could continue to ~~steal~~ pump Iran's oil for London's oil companies. Truman said don't do it, but Eisenhower gave the okay.

We see how well that turned out.
