Cheney and the term hypocrite

"Recent occurrences in Georgia, beginning with the military invasion by Russia, have been flatly contrary to some of our most deeply held beliefs. Russian forces crossed an internationally recognized border into a sovereign state; fueled and fomented an internal conflict; conducted acts of war without regard for innocent life, killing civilians and causing the displacement of tens of thousands."

Does that not sound just a little bit familiar, this is coming from the same guy who was Vice President when a country (Iraq) which was clearly not a threat to the US, never attacked the US or threatened to attack the US and was a sovereign state then sent 130,000 troops across the world to invade it, does he not know what a hypocrite is?
Georgia was clearly more of a threat to Russia than Iraq could ever have been to the United States and that's fact!

He goes on to state that Russian troops conducted acts of war without regard for civilian life. Obviously he ignored the fact that Bush had targeted residential areas during his shock and awe campaign since the weapons of mass destruction could have been anywhere, they never found any after bombers had laid waste to Baghdad.

As far as conducting acts of war is concerned, could someone point out to Mr. Cheney that the invasion of a sovereign nation is probably the ultimate act of war? Occupying it for years, killing a million of its citizens and terrorizing much of the population for over five years may be business as usual for U.S. foreign policy, but that does not make those actions any less acts of war.

Also he said they had displaced thousands of civilians, (as opposed to the millions displaced in Iraq).
He also added Russia had given them no reason for them no reason for the invasion even though him nor Bush had given any reason for invading Iraq which was five years ago!
