Former Vice President Dick Cheney showed up on Fox News on Wednesday to make a familiar case for going back to war in Iraq: Nuclear weapons are spreading to extremists across the globe.
In recent weeks the al Qaeda splinter group ISIS has taken advantage of a power vacuum left after the U.S. invaded Iraq to take over large parts of the country, giving Cheney and other architects of the 2003 invasion an opportunity to use some of their original talking points for military action.

The focus shouldnt be just on Iraq, he insisted. Its indicative of a much broader problem. Weve had The Rand Corporation just recently published a study that shows theres been a 58 percent increase in the number of al Qaeda-type terrorist groups in the last four years. Fifty-eight percent! Doubling the number of terrorists roughly, and theyre spreading out from West Africa all across North Africa to East Africa, up through the Middle East, all the way around to Indonesia.
And the other problem, of course, is the developing possibility that sooner or later some of them will get their hands on deadlier weapons, the former vice president added.
While Cheney was taking a breath, Fox News host Elisabeth Hasselbeck tossed him a softball
Are you indicating that we could be on track for something worse than 9/11? she asked.

Stated by Cheney - definitively - in weeks before the election.
He is about as credible as the crocodile offering rides across the flooding river.
