Dick Cheney to expose Obama in new book...

[Anomalism]

I would submit that you are wrong.

Audible gasp

 

[bubbabgone]

The book, co-authored by Cheney's daughter Liz Cheney, contends that Obama has abandoned a decades-long tradition of American global leadership. In a statement issued by Threshold, a conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster, the former vice president said Obama had "significantly diminished" U.S. power at a time of a "rapidly growing" terrorist threat.

News from The Associated Press

If you had somebody who, as president — who wanted to take America down. Who wanted to fundamentally weaken our position in the world, reduce our capacity to influence events. Turn our back on our allies and encourage our enemies, it would look exactly like what Barack Obama is doing. I think his actions are constituted in my mind are those of the worst president we’ve ever had. - Dick Cheney

Book or no book ... the man's right on all counts ... and he sure knows how to get Denzel's fans all in a tizzy.

:yawn: This is really old news. Obama abandoned the historical US international leadership role the day he entered the office.

And look at the mess in the ME that this power vacuum allowed to fester. Just imagine how different the ME situation would be had the SoF for Iraq and Afghanistan been successfully executed. ISIS either wouldn't or would be much smaller. Iran wouldn't be engaged in it's proxy wars, and be the next regional power. Heck, there may not even be the up coming ME nuclear arms race. Yemen government might yet be in power rather than the mess there.

All in all probably saving thousands or 10s of thousands of lives that are now being slaughtered by ISIS.

Yeah, this'll be what the leftists will call a 'successful' foreign policy, which really hasn't been anything but erratic, unpredictable and inconsistent.

Laugh all you want......it's the truth.

You wouldn't recognize the truth if an 18-wheeler load of it ran over you, hit its brakes, backed up, and ran over you again. :roll:

Just saying.

 

[iacardsfan]

Much to your credit!!!




Nope. Why do you folks always twist peoples' words around and inject words and ideas not in evidence? Why is that?

Then what is your comment supposed to mean?

 

[CanadaJohn]

I would have thought Dick Cheney would have better ways to spend his remaining time on earth than this kind of thing. It would be the greatest gift, in my view, if all people who serve as Presidents and Vice Presidents, upon leaving office, took a vow of silence, similar to President GWB, and only spoke on issues with the current holders of the office, only when asked, and only in private. The Presidency is easily the most difficult job on the planet and sniping from the cheap seats helps no one.

But you are a liberal..........if to submit is your thing....go right ahead on it.

Yes he is. He has obama pegged for the disaster that he is...

Because leftists are total idiots it seems.

When the state of the Nation is a total and unmitigated cluster****, someone needs to speak out. And who better than Dick who does know the score, far better than most. The MSM are in obama's pants and the current crop of Pubs, instead of trying to get along, should be blasting everything this Regime is doing...with prejudice!

 

[Grand Mal]

Wow, here's news. Democrats are more isolationist than Republicans.

 

[MickeyW]

Then what is your comment supposed to mean?

It means exactly what I said it means. Look up the word influence. When you see a wrong, do you just act like a NYer and shut up...and say nothing? Or.....do you do what is right and speak up?

 

[MickeyW]

Wow, here's news. Democrats are more isolationist than Republicans.

Not really. To wit...this idiotic peace talk with Iran! You never make peace with a bully.....they will kick your ass when you ain't lookin!

obama and Kerry have turned into a couple of prison bitches!

There are plenty of wrongs in the US that we haven't fixed. We should focus on that.

News from The Associated Press

Cheney and his buddies owe the USA 3 trillion dollars for starting a war that accomplished nothing (except nice profits for their cronies)

 

[iacardsfan]

And equally as many voting for Bush. The point is, despite who the president is and what their policies are, the priority needs to be placed at home. We also need to realize that our actions have reactions. And sometimes those reactions kinda suck.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! And you would? :lamo

Anyone who thinks that Dick Cheney, one of the architects of the U.S. disaster in Iraq, has any connection to the truth, is totally out of touch with reality.

Do the democrats who helped authorize it have to kick in their share?

Is you crazy? Cheney is Darth Vader. He prints dirty money in his basement to fund his purchase of third world children he eats. He must be made to pay. Democrats are desperate now though, and will accept even Green Stamps as payment - as long as a statement of guilt accompanies the contribution.

Iraq was not a disaster, the US was doing some very good things over there. After we were forced to leave early, by the girlie men and bimbos on the Left, who constantly tried to undermine the Bush Administration and sway public opinion......that is when things changed!
Obviously, you subscribe to the the latter.

For sure, for sure!!! :thumbs:

That is exactly what the Dems and their allies (THE EXTREME BIASED MSM)...............would like everyone to think. Shrubnose seems to believe those lies.

Meh.

Iraq was stable until Obama couldn't be bothered to achieve a SoF agreement with Iraq, and started pulling troops out. This perceived power vacuum gave rise to ISIS, which has only grown in size, boldness, and viciousness. The same can be said for Afghanistan.

So Obama starts talking and lifting sanctions on Iran, and they've come to be a regional power exporting terrorism and supplying them.

From my figuring, that's three strikes on Obama, so the mess, as it's become and grown, is pretty much all his making, due to his chaotic foreign policy of retreat and leaving power vacuums for others to fill.

Agreed! The obama Regime has an atrocious foreign policy!

Any boob who thinks that obama or Kerry have accomplished anything good here or in the last 6 years....is lamer than lame!

B. Hussein obama is destroying America from within....and I am convinced that is exactly what he intended from the beginning!

G.W. Bush helped Shia Iran by removing the Sunnis from power in Iraq and replacing them with the current Shia regime. At the same time he created ISIS by killing and marginalizing many thousands of the Sunnis in Iraq, whose relatives and fellow tribesmen are now looking for some payback.

Dick Cheney should write a book about all that, but he'd rather pretend that it didn't happen.:roll:

I won't disagree that there is tribal conflict in Iraq, and that there are some tribes there that are out for some payback.

But I seem to recall that there was quite a while where all was quite on the Iraqi front, including during the transition from GWB to Obama. It was only after Obama was in office, for a few years I think it was, where the wheels started to come off, and that'd be most closely associated with the SoF agreement Obama couldn't be bothered with to achieve. So US troops had to start getting pulled out.

So Obama was handed a stable Iraq, essentially a victory, and turned it into defeat and withdraw from the historical US international leadership role under his watch.

Not sure which channel you're watching.

Some stupid conservative who couldn't pour urine out of a boot with the instructions on the heel.
