Cheney fires back at Obama on Afganistan - "You Lie"": "White House must stop dithering, while America's armed forces are in danger"





Cheney: "Recently President Obama's advisors have decided that it's easier to blame the Bush Administration than support our troops, this weekend they leveled a charge that cannot go unanswered, the President's chief of staff claimed that the Bush Adm. had not asked any tough questions about Afghanistan and he complained that the Obama Adm. had to start from scratch to put together a strategy.

In the fall of 2008, fully aware of the need to meet new challenges being posed by the Taliban, we dug into every aspect of Afghanistan policy, assembled a team that both traveled to Afghanistan and Pakistan, reviewing options and recommendations, and briefing President elect Obama's team, they asked us not to announce our findings publicly, and we agreed, giving them the benefit of our work and the benefit of the doubt"
