“Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that he hopes President Barack Obama lays out a “forceful, bold and immediate strategy to defeat ISIS” tonight, but Cheney’s remarks at a conservative think-tank were more focused on suggesting that the president does not understand the severity of the threat.

“Our president must understand we are at war and that we must do what it takes, for as long as it takes, to win,” Cheney said during a speech at the American Enterprise Institute, adding the threat from ISIS is “far more dangerous that the administration has been willing to admit.”

“Cheney, a key architect of the war in Iraq, painted Obama’s foreign policy as an effort to avoid tough choices rather than address threats head-on.

“So often President Obama responds to crises by announcing all the things that he will not do,” he said. “And here again we can only hope that pattern ends tonight.”

How can this guy hold his head up?  In some countries people would carry rocks to throw at him in case they see him.

Saw a list of the 10 biggest political lies earlier.  The Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Rice lead-in to the Iraq war was one of them.

How does it happen that the US thinks it’s responsible for cleaning up everything in the Middle East except the Israeli-Palestinian stuff.  (By the way, how the USS Liberty was explained by the Israelis was another of those lies.  Along with “no new taxes”.)
