Cheney has another Senior moment

X, I think this was their largest mistake (which is saying alot), and like you said it has cost the country dearly. I hope that Obama does what he said he would, and listen to the generals.

Hi: i think the same. Maybe Cheney forgot that he must take their advices when he was vice president and not now and tbat if everything was so easy why is he so unpopular after leaving the white house?

Well said Roberten

He is, he is fixing the mess that Bush left. Why didn't he DO SOMETHING????? I won't be expecting an answer because there is NO answer to this.

Well, his general is asking for more troops. What's the excuse for not sending them yet?

Hi piasabird: I agree with you that Obama has his own responsabilities but Cheney it's not the right man to tell Obama what he has to do or not after not being able to do a good job on Afganistan. Most of the mistakes that has been commited on Afganistan and Irak are part of Bush- Cheney administration.

I will point out that D!ck Cheney never was Commander in Chief of the military. (On a side note: Don't you think that it is funny that we can't write D!ck's first name on mylot.) So he had no power other than to advise the President. I will also point out that most of the second term Bush was putting out the many fires that ignited after the dictatorship was removed. If you look back, the situation in Iraq was far worse than the situation in Afghanistan, therefore it was the priority. I still think it is funny that you won't admit that President Obama bears part of the blame for ignoring Afghanistan for nine months. He is the current Commander in Chief. Is this another case of blaming the past administration because the current administration is doing nothing? Wake up. Bush is no longer President. You can't change what has happened. (No one has invented a time machine, yet.) Bush was highly criticized for his actions in both wars. I don't see why President Obama should get a free pass just because it was the fault of another President. Every single President has problems they have to fix from the past Presidencies. However, most of them don't go on a campaign, the instant they take office.

Kenny, he won the war in Iraq, and ignored the war in Afghanistan. What does that make him?? By they way, generals asked for more troops under Bush, he just ignored them because we didn't have any more because of Bush's war for reelection.

Sierras, you are correct that Obama hasn't done anything in 2009. But, if you are upset about this then why weren't you upset for the last 7 years? " You do realize, that President Obama is ignoring Afghanistan perhaps more than Bush/Cheney did. At least they had the excuse of the distraction of Iraq whereas President Obama does not. I am still waiting on President Obama's excuse of why he is so blatantly ignoring Afghanistan" I don't know how you can really make that argument, seeing how Bush and Cheney ignored Afghanistan for 7 years, and Obama has for 9 months. Please explain to me if the Bush/Cheney administration didn't ignor Afghanistan, then why didn't they do something about it? They did NOTHING, and that what the Generals said. "Frankly, D!ck Cheney's use of the word "dithering" is quite appropriate in this context since President Obama clearly is "uncertain or indecisive" about Afghanistan." So what would you call Bush/Cheney's lack of action in Afghansitan? INCOMPETENCE? IGNORANCE? DERELICTION OF DUTY?

Because democrats love Bush....duh.

You wrote "Many current and former Generals have spoken up after these comments were made, pointing out the facts that the Bush administration "They ignored Afghanistan for 7 years"." The article you link to does not contain that exact quote but does have some comments in that vein from Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Rahm Emanuel and Robert Gibbs. I didn't know Nancy was ever a military general. Gosh, the things you don't know about people will surprise you. Alexander said that Obama was entitled to time to make a plan. So, there is no plan yet. Until Obama tells us his plan it's impossible to be in favor of it or opposed to it, so no one supports his plan yet. You didn't answer the question though, about why it's okay for Obama to dither and ignore Afghanistan just because he says Bush did the same thing?

Here is the link Rollo: http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2009/10/cheney_obama_di.html And it isn't even from WND, or a blog, so it must be fabricated. Because we all know that the only reliable news comes from websites owned by Rupert Murdock, or sad people that live in their mothers basement. The point being made by Alexander is that Obama should take time to look at the request from his generals, and the man power that he has at hand. We all know that the Bush administration ignored Afghanistan, and even the generals there have publicly said thes same. Obama said that he will fight the war in Afghanistan (something that the Bush administration forgot all about when they got their new war with Iraq), and it is good to see that one president hasn't forgoten about our brave men and women in Afghanistan.

Best, I will believe the Generals who have said they did nothing. And don't even getting me started on the Bush administration lying about any wars they got us into.
