Former Vice President Dick Cheney on Wednesday night accused the White House of “dithering” over the strategy for the war in Afghanistan.

Dithering you say Mr. Former V.P.? Better than being a blathering idiot.

So let me get this straight. Terrorists attack the US. Your administration determines that it’s the Taliban that’s responsible. Your administration also determines they are operating out of bases in Afghanistan. Your administration then sends troops to Afghanistan, which like 99.99% of the country supported. The date: 10/07/2001.

Then, your administration decided that Iraq was so much more of a threat and decided to start a war. The date: 03/19/2003.

At the height of the Iraq surge, 26,000 US troops were in Afghanistan and 160,000 in Iraq.

8 years later, and where is Osama Bin Laden? You had him in your sights, and you let him get away. Then, you start the war with Iraq. Weapons of mass destruction and all. What did you find? Nada, squat, zero, zilch. You found an old man in a hole and declared Mission Accomplished. After your administration screwed it up, now the current administration dithers?

The White House must stop dithering while America’s armed forces are in danger. It’s time for President Obama to do what it takes to win a war he has repeatedly and rightly called a war of necessity.”

So this war wasn’t a necessity when you were in office? 6 times the number of troops in Iraq than in Afghanistan? So the Afghan war was for you, what, like a hike in the woods? Why didn’t you take care of business while you were in office.

Please just fade away Mr. Cheney. We have had enough of your blathering nonsense. Your legacy has already been written.

Just go duck hunting…
