Megyn Kelly Grills Dick Cheney On Iraq, And Tells Him 'History Has Proven You Got It Wrong As Well, Sir'

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly on Wednesday night grilled former Vice President Dick Cheney, who published an op-ed with his daughter Wednesday blasting President Barack Obama over his handling of the crisis in Iraq.

Dick and Liz Cheney wrote in their Wall Street Journal op-ed that "rarely" has a president ever been "so wrong about so much at the expense of so many."

On her show, "The Kelly File," Kelly read that quote to Cheney and said, "But time and time again, history has proven that you got it wrong as well, sir."

Kelly proceeded to fire off a list of Cheney's claims and pronouncements from his time at the White House that ended up being disputed or outright wrong — that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, that U.S. soldiers would be "greeted as liberators," that the Iraqi insurgency was "in its last throes" in 2005, and that extremists would have to "rethink their strategy of jihad" after the U.S. intervention.

"Now with almost one trillion dollars spent there with 4,500 American lives lost there, what do you say to those who say you were so wrong about so much at the expense of so many?" Kelly said.

43,000 wounded too, but Cheney's friends at Halliburton, Kellogg, Brown and Root came out rolling in money.

Finally. A crack in FOX News blind worship of Dick Cheney. Together with Rupert Murdoc's op ed in the WSJ urging immigration reform immediately are we finally seeing a bit of sanity creeping in to Fox?
