Cheney: ‘I Don’t Know What Makes Obama Tick’
[su_publirb]
Dick Cheney just doesn’t understand Barack Obama.
“I’ve tried for a long time, John, to try to understand what makes him tick, and frankly I don’t know,” he said. Cheney commented specifically on Obama’s handling of ISIS, saying that he was confused by the president’s counterterrorism strategy in the region where the extremist group operates.
“Obama has placed pretty severe limits on what our air guys can do. I think he doesn’t really want to be there — I think he’s there very reluctantly in terms of having fielded a limited force, because he felt after ISIS moved in in a big way and is obviously such a major threat, he felt that he had to do something politically, but it’s half a loaf, it’s pin pricks,” he said.
“In order to be really effective with air power, you’ve got to be able to actively and aggressively go hit those targets, and that means targeting … that means flying enough missions to be able to do the job, and clearly they’re not allowed to do that at this point.”
Cheney also criticized potential 2016 Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the interview, arguing that she had faced too much scandal to be taken seriously in the Oval Office.
“I must say I am surprised there isn’t more opposition to her within the Democratic Party,” he said. “I think there’s serious problems there that need to be investigated. If I was a Democratic voter, I would be looking for new talent.”

I waiting for all the warmonger’s children and grandchildren to stand on the frontline of the war and then I’m right behind them.

Your favorite position right?

One of many.

I’ll bet he doesn’t know what makes any normal, patriotic Americans tick.
He sure knows how to do business with dictators, though.

Well, not being human, it’s really no surprise that he doesn’t understand them.

Jebus WHERE do you start? “She has faced too much scandal to be in the Oval office”? So say’s the biggest liar, cheater, war-mongering draft-dodging croney-capitalist war-profiteering WAR CRIMINAL on the ENTIRE planet? This unrepentant bag of pus makes me ashamed to be on the same planet, but we are not of the same species because he HAS NO HEART, NO CONSCIENCE, no decency, and most of all NO business opening his evil pie-hole except for a long overdue apology for the thousands of lives he ruined in his pursuit of the all-mighty dollar.

I don’t know the first thing about running an air campaign but I’m more confident in Obama’s handling of ISIS than I was of Cheney’s Iraq War Debacle.
How does this guy have the gall to go on TV and bitch about another Pres’s handling of a war with his track record…???

You don’t know what makes him tick? It is a foreign organ to you dick, its called a heart. And unlike your last “boss” dick, he has a brain that works with his heart to not only do what is morally right, but what is justified. Shut your pie hole and go away and please just Fade To Black.

After his disastrously failed foreign policy strategy, Dick Cheney is going to lecture us on how President Obama should handle ISIS? What an asshole! He has no shame.
Suzanne McFly June 8th, 2015 at 4:48 pm
I wish he understood that.

Cheney and his war comments, it’s all about
sacrifice….as long as someone else does the
sacrificing and he does the posturing, at no
risk to himself, I would imagine all the ones
lost in the Iraq war had
better things to do when they made the ultimate
sacrifice.

Cheney only recognizes evil in the hearts of men; that’s why he is clueless about Obama.
allison1050 June 8th, 2015 at 5:59 pm
As old as this chicken hawk is he still doesn’t know what makes himself tick.

Ironic comment from a man who lacks a functioning heart … and one who was born without a soul.

For a very clever man, he is not too bright.

not clever – soulless and evil and devoid of any feelings that are common in most mammals.

It’s called “public service,” Dick.
We liberals still believe in it.

“that he was confused by the president’s counterterrorism strategy in the region where the extremist group operates.
“Says the guy who bombed the wrong country.

what makes this evil thing tick is a wind up toy heart – when is the spring going to go boink, unwind and rip his chest apart?????

Hey Dickie…a heart and a conscience….both of which you lack
