From lies:
"The Taliban regime is out of business, permanently." Dick Cheney, 2002
"Working with a fine coalition, our military went to Afghanistan, destroyed the training camps of Al Qaida, and put the Taliban out of business forever.” George W. Bush, 2003
To flat out delusion:
"It’s time for President Obama to make good on his promise. The White House must stop dithering while America’s armed forces are in danger." Dick Cheney, 2009
For nearly 8 years Bush & Co. neglected the war in Afghanistan. They told us the Taliban were defeated, that they were written off in the history books, that they were forever destroyed. They were dead wrong. We've been fighting their back burner perpetual war long enough. Nothing Bush or Cheney said about Afghanistan or Iraq turned out to be true. They were as wrong as any group of people has ever been in history. So when people try to write off holding the Bushies to their past record as merely Bush Bashing, they are as chest-thumping chickenhawks go-- as wrong as their Fantasy World day is long.
