(CNN) –Former Vice President Dick Cheney is again weighing in on President Barack Obama's foreign policy, declaring the relatively new commander-in-chief is projecting "weakness and is "far more radical than I expected."

...

"I begin to get nervous when I see the commander in chief making decisions apparently for what I would describe as small 'p' political reasons, where he's trying to balance off different competing groups in society," Cheney told the Web site.

Cheney also repeated his criticisms that Obama has taken too long to arrive at a decision about how to proceed in Afghanistan.

"Every time he delays, defers, debates, changes his position, it begins to raise questions: Is the commander in chief really behind what they've been asked to do?"

"Here's a guy without much experience, who campaigned against much of what we put in place ... and who now travels around the world apologizing," Cheney added later in the interview. "I think our adversaries – especially when that's preceded by a deep bow ... – see that as a sign of weakness."

Cheney also beat back statements from White House officials arguing Afghanistan's current instability is a result of the Bush administration's failure to provide adequate resources to the fragile country when it decided to invade Iraq.

Asked if he thinks the Bush Administration is responsible for any part of Afghanistan's current volatility, Cheney said, "I basically don't.

8. Uncle Dick

he's probably keeping the Cheney name in the headlines for his daughter to run in 2012.

2. Cheney the dick doesn't think he & bush are in any way responsible for Afghanistan...

Ummm... :wow:


It can't be easy keeping himself that totally duped.

[polmaven]

14. Well how could they be responsible?

After all, there were no terrorist attacks on the U.S. during their administration, right? I mean, just ask Dana. She'll tell you!

[TicketyBoo]

19. Maybe she's just truthful…

according to all of those conspiracy theories over in the 9/11 forum? :shrug:

[TicketyBoo]

18. He's not duped; he's campaigning for

King of the Liars, and, boy, is he ever winning!!

[bluestateguy]

3. There must be no criticism of the Commander in Chief in a time of war

Not now, not when we have troops in the field. It gives direct aid and comfort to the enemy to be second guessing him.

4. Cheney: Wrong. About. Everything. EVERYTHING.

:puke:

5. If his heart starts to give him problems, that would be too bad.

11. I'll say it: Drop dead, Dick!

It is time for our suffering to come to an end.

6. and once again..almost like it's planned

here comes one of America's gadabout war criminals to make some outrageous comments for people to either cheer or boo.


I'm angry America allows war criminals to get away with their crimes. What those war criminals have to say pales in comparison to that.

7. He's gonna run in 2012

Why else would he stay in the DC area instead of retiring peacefully in Texas or Wyoming or wherever his home is? Why else have his daughter out there sending trial balloons, keeping his name in the ring. I really think he thinks he could win.

9. His daughter

10. Cheney foreign Policy: Shoot 'em and make 'em apologize to us!

He has proven that it works.

[peacetalksforall]

12. Move over, Bill Maher - Cheney is going to get his own show - instead of your

biting truth, his will be black lies and character assassinations.

He doesn't have the bunker anymore and his tight lipped hating lips can't stop moving now.

We are learning everything there has ever been about the 'quiet', but deadly and death seeking man.

[peacetalksforall]

13. Everyday he proves that he WAS the President. And Bush was the fund raising front man.

[dusmcj]

15. candyass dissing the troops he tries to pimp out to his reactionary shit

>"Every time he delays, defers, debates, changes his position, it begins to raise questions: Is the commander in chief really behind what they've been asked to do?"

Guess they don't have much "character" and aren't "firm" with "resolve" and "under control".

Another connected chicken{hawk,shit} playing with his joystick. Shitbag.

20. Fuck the Dick

every which way.

[Mz Pip]

21. Dick is nervous?

Bummer for him. I was nervous for 8 years with he and Bushboy at the helm.

Cheney is an ass. I rarely wish ill of people but I almost wish his nervousness would lead to something more serious than hyperbolic rhetoric.

22. Dick and Dum Dum
