Former Vice President Dick Cheney is once again attacking President Barack Obamas national security record, this time on the 11th anniversary of the devastating terrorist attacks that took place on the Bush Administrations watch.
Through a spokeswoman, Cheney told conservative website The Daily Caller that If President Obama were participating in his intelligence briefings on a regular basis then perhaps he would understand why people are so offended at his efforts to take sole credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden.
Those who deserve the credit are the men and women in our military and intelligence communities who worked for many years to track him down, he continued. They are the ones who deserve the thanks of a grateful nation.
As usual, in his rush to attack the president, Cheney skipped over the key facts. Obama has never claimed sole credit for the killing of bin Laden; as Media Matters for America points out, he has repeatedly thanked and praised the troops and intelligence officers who made the raid possible.

(81,194 posts)The report described this smell of sulfur that permeated the air all over Southern California, and said that people were calling in about it. When I heard that, before I heard word about the suspected cause, my first reaction was - "what happened? Did cheney die?"

(5,158 posts)Obama never took sole credit for killing bin Laden, but he did give the order to make that killing possible.
Fact of the matter is, when Dumbya and Dick left office, Osama bin Laden was alive and well. A little over two years into Obama's term, he was fish food.
