[h=2]'No American president has done more to weaken the US': Ex-VP Cheney delivers stinging rebuke to Obama in searing op-ed on 15th anniversary of 9/11[/h][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

[/FONT]As America prepares to honor the victims of the September 11 attacks, former vice president Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz pen an op-ed piece blasting U.S. President Barack Obama for endangering the country's national security. 15 years after the Twin Towers fell, they criticized the president for what they claim is downsizing the military, releasing terrorists, coddling up to Iran and enacting policies that have destabilized Iraq. Almost 3,000 Americans were killed in the coordinated terror attacks. Dick Cheney is widely regarded as the driving force behind the Bush administration's foreign policy interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq following the attacks.

Dick Cheney, the former vice president, accused President Barack Obama of doing more than any of his predecessors to 'aid America's adversaries' and 'hobbling our defenses' against Islamic terrorist groups.
In a stinging Wall Street Journal op-ed co-written with his daughter, Wisconsin congressional candidate Liz Cheney, the former vice president said that Obama's policies have emboldened terrorist organizations and hostile terror-supporting countries.
Dick Cheney is widely regarded as the driving force behind the Bush administration's foreign policy interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq following the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The United States marks 15 years since the attacks on Sunday.

'President Obama has been more dedicated to reducing America's power than to defeating our enemies,' the Cheneys wrote.
'He has enhanced the abilities, reach and finances of our adversaries, including the world's leading state sponsor of terror, at the expense of our allies and our own national security,' the vice president and his daughter wrote.
'He has overseen a decline of our own military capabilities as our adversaries' strength has grown.'
Obama was also faulted by the former vice president and his daughter for what they say is his dangerous downsizing of American armed forces.
'By reducing the size and strength of our forces, he has ensured that future wars will be longer, and put more American lives at risk,' they wrote.
The Cheneys also took Obama to task for cancelling the 'enhanced interrogation program' – the controversial detention and interrogation of suspected Al-Qaeda terrorists.

Before taking office, Obama vowed to close down the U.S.-run detention center in Guantanamo Bay.
Despite his promise, however, the administration has been unable to completely shut down the prison due to stiff opposition from Congress.
Just months before Obama steps down, the prison population at Gitmo stands at 61, according to Fox News.
Since 2002, the U.S. has detained 780 suspected terrorists at the facility, according to the New York Times.
Most of the detainees have been sent to 59 different countries.
'As he released terrorists to return to the field of battle, Mr. Obama was simultaneously withdrawing American forces from Iraq and Afghanistan,' the Cheneys wrote.

'He calls this policy 'ending wars.' Most reasonable people recognize this approach as losing wars.'
The op-ed also goes on to accuse Obama of squandering President George W. Bush's achievements in stabilizing Iraq and of kowtowing to Iran.
'President Obama and Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry were so concerned with pleasing Iran's ruling mullahs that they were willing to overlook the American blood on Iranian hands and decades of Iran's activities as the world's leading state sponsor of terror,' the Cheneys wrote.

It's a fake Gasman. I'm not saying there are no sharia fans in Dearborn but there are no pro ISIS sympathizers there.

Haha, this will make Obama's approval rating go even higher. Even Republicans are doing everything they can to act like 2000-2008 never existed.

Haha, my favorite thing they do now is blame Obama for ISIS. We can dig up some old threads where any time it was mentioned that Obama is taking troops out of Iraq it was all Bush's plan and Obama deserved no credit. Now all of a sudden, it's the worst decision ever and it was all on Obama, lol. These guys have no integrity whatsoever. I like Willie's thread about "we're right again". When were they right the first time? In 8 years, I've never seen them right about a single thing.

Obama has taken credit 100's of times for puling the troops out and ending the war.... He could have changed course and put in a stabalization force at any time

Can you answer these questions, without a song and dance, or insults?

1. Why didn't Obama put in a stabilization force once Bush had all the troops removed?
2. Why did Obama say that ISIS was a JV team, and later said they were under control?
3. Why did Obama claim over and over again for year, he brought the troops home and ended the war? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DpBwmN66As

I'm not the one sitting in here all day bashing people. You clearly came back in here to make nasty comments about a very wide swath of people. Not sure
why you don't see the utter hypocrisy in your words?

All I do is see you bashing people, lol. I have no clue what you believe you're looking at. And when I "bash people" it's about a topic, I don't get involved in their personal lives like a psycho. Trust me, I don't care about you enough to ever care about your personal life. You can be a millionaire or homeless and it would not matter. It's character that counts, and you lack character. You're a very terrible human being. I actually feel sorry for you.

You have character, like when you came in here and lied and tried to convince everyone you were a moderate?

I'm glad you feel so sorry for me, please keep me in your prayers. Make it a point to pray for me tonight, ok?
