    Agreed. They left a big messed for President Obama to fix. Cheney need to go sit down somewhere. He's another one that likes to incite fear. Cheney should have clean up this messed before the left office now he wants to sabotage President Obama. I never seen a previous administration act so disrespectful. >0

    Not only that, but by starting an unjust war in Iraq, we lost our focus in Afghanistan. The troops that we need now in Afghan. we could have had had we not invaded Iraq. So for Cheney to criticize stalling in Afghan. is truely the sign of an egomaniac, delusional warmonger.

    Cheney is a criminal ! We had many of our friends there who believed in what we were doing, but Cheney and Rumsfeld wanted to pursue Iraq as a win for Bush and their policy of intervention! These countries were our best friends and allies Britain, Canada, Australia and others. As far as listening to our generals Cheney and Rumsfeld caused many of our Generals to retire who disagreed with them, and the most important detain, did not bring to justice those responsible in Afghanistan for 9/11.

    Cheney is a war profiteer. He stands to make a lot of money if his Halliburton stock does well.

    Halliburton is a major military contractor and makes huge amounts of money in the two wars. When Cheney stokes fears, he promotes the terror-industrial complex of which he is the de facto head.

    Thus, he will always promote war. He is getting richer every day.

    Perhaps Cheney isn't receiving enough kick backs from Halliburton in Iraq of late? Seriously Cheney may have a right to his opinion but he remains a tainted and less than credible individual- key word being, individual.

    When it comes to Iraq and Afghanistan Dick Cheney was not right about one thing so I can not for the life of me understand why some people are treating him like he is an expert on the subject.

    I don't care what Dick says. I never trust a person who's been in the government for 30+ years. In fact I detest people who make a living off being a politician.

    Cheney is probably corrupt as they come.

    he is desperate to maintain some sort of public support so he doesn't get indicted and locked up for his many nefarious and illegal actions. Strange how he's now a self-professed expert after he's the one who got us into this mess.

    I'm not a political or presidential historian but I would venture that Cheney is one of, if not the, worst ex-VP ever in terms of diplomacy and support for the new administration. The guy just won't shut up now.

    I guess removing the Tyrant that was funding terror cells like Hamas doesn't count. Removing Saddam was a joke right? You couldn't tell me other terror cells besides Taliban and Al Quada.

    Henry Kissanger is a democrat and hates what obama is doing. It's the far leftists that don't want war.

    I don't see anti war protesters in Obama's term.
