Retired General Slams Cheney As "Incompetent War Fighter"
Retired General Paul Eaton, senior adviser to the National Security Network, has hit back hard at Dick Cheney a day after the former vice president criticized the Obama administration again for "dithering while America's armed forces are in danger." In a speech Wednesday night, Cheney said, "President Obama now seems afraid to make a decision, and unable to provide his commander on the ground with the troops he needs to complete his mission."
In an NSN press release, Eaton empties his chamber:
The record is clear: Dick Cheney and the Bush administration were incompetent war fighters. They ignored Afghanistan for 7 years with a crude approach to counter-insurgency warfare best illustrated by: 1. Deny it. 2. Ignore it. 3. Bomb it. While our intelligence agencies called the region the greatest threat to America, the Bush White House under-resourced our military efforts, shifted attention to Iraq, and failed to bring to justice the masterminds of September 11.
The only time Cheney and his cabal of foreign policy 'experts' have anything to say is when they feel compelled to protect this failed legacy. While President Obama is tasked with cleaning up the considerable mess they left behind, they continue to defend torture or rewrite a legacy of indifference on Afghanistan. Simply put, Mr. Cheney sees history throughout extremely myopic and partisan eyes.
ROFLMNAO...
Yeah Bush and Cheney only managed to disaptch two Islamic Governments and establish in their place two freely elected Constitutional Republicans, projecting US power to the other side of the planet against two determined and capable foes...
So whoever this "General" is, as is often the case... he's likely being taken out of context by sychophants of the Left who need such to advance their specious 'perspective.'
In truth, the Hussein regime has done ZERO to advance the US interests in the Global War on Terror... and has taken several measures, from funcing HAMAs, the largest ismalic terrorist network in the world with a BILLION DOLLARS IN AID... to promising US Nuclear disarmament; even as IRAN is acquiring their own nuclear means.
LOL...
Leftists...
