Cheney: Will Obama apologize now for claiming Bush “overreacted” to 9/11?

“I think it was a very good strike. I think it was justified,” Cheney told CNN’s Candy Crowley on “State of the Union.” But “I’m waiting for the administration to go back and correct something they said two years ago when they criticized us for ‘overreacting’ to the events of 9/11.”

Obama “in effect said that we had walked away from (America’s) ideals,” Cheney argued. “I think he did tremendous damage. I think he slandered the nation and I think he owes an apology to the American people.”

The Obama administration has “clearly … moved in the direction of taking robust action when they feel it is justified,” Cheney said.

I can’t wait for the convention speech where he thanks Obama for continuing Bush policies.

You guys better be careful about saying something nice about Mr. Cheney. Some of our Hot Air colleagues will call him a RINO.

If you want to understand why experience is so important when selecting a Vice President of the United States, read Dick Cheney’s new book In My Time and then share the book with a liberal friend. It is a wonderful book, filled with first hand history that I highly recommend.

In just the prologue to the book you will be amazed to read about all of the issues that Dick Cheney was dealing with on the morning of September 11th.

After reading “In My Time,” ask yourself if VP Joe Biden was really the most qualified person in the country for President Obama to select as our Vice President.

We were very lucky to have Dick Cheney as our Vice President for 8 years! Thank you for all you did to keep us safe, Vice President Cheney!

I’ve been to pick it up, sounds like a great read.

The issue of experience, particularly with Foreign Policy, is one reason I think John Bolton should seriously be considered by any candidate.

Some simply hateful observations by the Leftists from the Party of Civility at the CNN link…

Dick “Scattergun” Cheney owes his lawyer an apology, along with every small business owner who has had to “shutter” their operations, every citizen whose money was used to bail out failing business and lending institutions with corrupt management practices. Cheney has some big ones if he thinks Obama is the villain in the current situation. When we get ours, we can see fit to give him his!

Dick Cheney once held a toddler underwater for information about where he put his car keys.

So Cheney going invading the wrong country at the cost of billions was the right answer to 9/11?

When are Bush and Cheney going to apologize for lying about Iraq to start a war with them?

Let the good Lord take you already and decide what to do with you. In the meantime, act like you are already dead, meaning, disappear and leave us Americans alone. Even when I see a photograph of you I see that gray cloud, that hazy gray cloud around you. It’s almost like you’re not human, from a dark place.

This guy’s legacy will be one of corruption and abuse of government along with all the evil J$Wmerican Israeli spies who dug into our government like Wolfowitz.

Cheney is really trying to avoid being charged with war crimes, isn’t he?

Ol Haliburton Cheney is at it again. Somehow in the mind of a conservative holding people in prison and torturing them, trampling on civil liberties being stomped on in the United States by it’s own government is somehow the same as killing a self admitted terrorist aiding and abetting the enemy in a foreign land. Such confusion is not surprising given he an GW’s approach to patriotism.
