FMR. VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY: The other thing I know for a fact too, Sean, keeping in touch with some of my old friends that I used to deal with in the Middle East. They no longer have any confidence at all in American security guarantee. They’re absolutely convinced that they can no longer trust the United States to keep its commitments. That includes the Israelis, the Saudis, and a lot of others in that part of the world. They peddle this line that now we’re going to pivot to Asia, but they’ve never justified it. I think the whole thing is not driven by any change in world circumstances, it’s driven by budget considerations. He much rather spend the money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops.
