Former Vice President Dick Cheney praised Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Saturday as "a good man" and a strong friend of the United States, but said the Egyptian people will decide his fate as leader.
"He's been a good man, he's been a good friend and ally to the United States, and we need to remember that," Cheney said during a question-and-answer session at a tribute to former U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
"In the end whatever comes next is going to be decided by the Egyptian people," he said.
Here's my question: why isn't anyone asking the obvious about why when Cheney was so adamant about invading Iran and Afghanistan that we overlooked Egypt? After all, Saddam Hussein was "a good man" in the eyes of the US at one point too.
