From MSNBC:

WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Dick Cheney on Wednesday night accused the White House of “dithering” over the strategy for the war in Afghanistan and urged President Barack Obama to “do what it takes to win.”

“Make no mistake. Signals of indecision out of Washington hurt our allies and embolden our adversaries,” Cheney said while accepting an award from a conservative national security group, the Center for Security Policy.

Cheney disputed remarks by White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel that the Bush administration had been adrift concerning the war in Afghanistan and that the Obama administration had to start from the beginning to develop a strategy for the 8-year-old war.

To the contrary, Cheney said, the Bush administration undertook its own review of the war before leaving office and presented its findings to Obama’s transition 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,” Cheney said. The strategy Obama announced in March bore a “striking resemblance” to what the Bush administration review had found, the vice president said.

    Interesting that he used the word dithering. That was technique that they used for old videogame systems to make it appear like there is more color on thescreen.

    While one Republican calls the President’s Administration as “Gangster” the man who ran Bush’s administration a true gangster, his words can only go as far as, well maybe he needs some male enhancement to to enlarge his memory of when he so called served in the Whitehouse. The mess that Cheney and the other cronies started, and now he wants President Obama to stay the course so that he can come back later and say, “aha, you failed.” Cheney says President Obama is scared to make a decision. The war we are dealing with shows that the Bush administration was not scared to make a decision even if it meant making the wrong one, The Bush crew made a decision. President Obama is not going to be controlled by control by Fox News, nor any of the Chenny’s lost party friends. Wisdom says be slow to speak and quick to hear. and to add. Don’t make quick decisions, and that is exactly what our current President is doing, using some wisdom.
    Cheny should just go back in his hole and keep recovering from the problems that possibly keeps him visiting the hospital, and stay out of a white house that is no longer plauged by his superior-thoughts of which got us in this mess we’re in now that President Obama is endeavoring to clean up.
    But of course Cheney is appealing to his base who are also out of touch with the real world.

    Dick Cheney you a complete moron that shoot people at close range, Was indicted for crimes involving the abuse of prisoners here in the U.S., A practice that has been called “domestic rendition”. There’s no telling what else you have done illegally. You had eight years to better your standards to the American people but choose to messed up along side with your stupid idiot Commander in Chief Bush who you backed up 100%. Go sit in your rocker and silence yourself.

    I guess what cheney calls what he and bush did for seven years was ” dicking around “.cheney is nothing more than a warmonger.and I guess everybody forgot that when their general said that they would have to start in iraq with 300 thousand men bush and cheney made him resign.how quickly white people forget when it’s to cover up the truth,and the news media,what happened to all of the reports they did at that time? Pres.obama seems not to understand that the republican party that has racist hate for him, has the most of the white news media,white talk show host, states in the south and west,most of congress and every racist in the country out to make sure he fails,even though they know that he honestly wants to save the country.pres. Obama even has black lap dogs out to make him fail.there’s no way he will be able to do the job he wanted top do.he has been beaten at the start of his term.the new language spoken in america called, ! Lying ! Can only be spoken by racist and their cohorts.

    Cheney is veery quick to accuse Obama of dithering, among other things. It’s just smoke and mirrors to deflect criticism about his and Rumsfeld’s policies. If he can force Obama into a stumble, then he, Cheney, can tgake credit and look better on his resume. We need to send Cheney on a fact finding tour to western Pakistan, to observe what he can, then leak his schedule to the Taliban. Let them entertain him for awhile.
