Associated Press - "Cheney: Stop the 'dithering' as troops face danger"
It seems like Dick Cheney has suddenly re-discovered Afganistan and is accusing President Obama of dithering when they ignored Afganistan for seven years while they invaded Iraq. Talk about chutzpah!

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.

1. Shut the fuck up, old man.
Seriously. You had your chance. Your turn is over. You aren't doing your odds of working the motivational circuit any good at all.

Go Cheney yourself.

7. This is infuriating and a great invitation to introduce the fact that we are 8 years into this mess
because Bush and Dick completely fucked up Afghanistan. Let's revisit that issue if we are going to be discussing the situation the President currently finds himself in. :nuke:

12. When will he shut up. His time has passed. He is in no position to talk anymore.

Look like the GOP under W. Bush was not only run like a campaign the whole time W. was in power but the perpetual campaign goes on forever.

13. I have never wanted to wish anyone ill, Repub or otherwise. Bad karma and all that. But I
want Dick Cheney to bite it. He won't shut up and go away otherwise.
