Liz Cheney joined conservative calls for Michael Steele to resign his post as Republican National Committee chairman because his remarks about the Afghanistan war.
Steele's comments "were deeply disappointing and wrong," said Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, in a statement Saturday.
"The chairman of the Republican Party must be unwavering in his support for American victory in the war on terror — a victory that cannot be accomplished if we do not prevail in Afghanistan," said Liz Cheney, who serves as chairwoman of Keep America Safe, a conservative foreign policy group.
Cheney said she fully endorsed a letter by Bill Kristol, another Keeping America Safe board member, that called on Steele to resign.
"It is time for Chairman Steele to step down,” she said.
Steele was caught on camera this week questioning the U.S. military

What did he say?
Diversity is what is ruining this country!
The GOP should replace Steele with the White guy from South Carolina that he defeated.
It’s about time. I never liked the man, he’s like an undercover Obama supporter imbeded in the Republican Party.
I think a lot of his thinking and comments are bent on race rather than the Republic.
The GOP ‘big tent’ does not know it has become little more than a TARP.
Why do we have a Obama voter as chairman?
So it might be short-term, if she has 2012 plans? So what. She's shown she can strongly fundraise and endorse candidates for the win at the primary level. This gives her a chance to show political moxie at the general election level, as well as burnish up her resume.
I agree, although she’ll have to take a pay cut!
I think Liz Cheney would do a kick-ass job also.
Why is it conservative women have the cashews that the Republican men don’t have right now?
Steele should step because he is a RINO dud not because he doubts Obama’s “leadership” in Afghanistan.
Steele’s term ends at the end of the year, making stupid remarks is not sufficient reason to go through a leadership fight in the middle of an election year.
I wonder what RINO will replace him?
Because in these past few decades when men assert themselves they are told that they are mean, uncompassionate, harsh, etc and told to “tone it down”, by women who are in positions of power, and the sissy men who get the promotions the assertive men should have gotten.
I like it
By the way, as an asside (spelling meant), how did he do in his book deal? I wasn’t keeping track. But I thought others would.
Thank you.
This is so transparent. Mittens wants her out of the picture for 2012. Bad.

Just what I was suspecting, the Cheneys call for Steele to resign, then GOProud calls for Steele to resign, and now we have this amazingly surprising idea.....NOT
Going to the good ol' boy RNC would be yet another trap for Sarah, effectively chaining her to the establishment, and crippling her ability to operate independently, at which she excels and thrives. Plus, she'd have to move to Washington, DC full time, something I seriously doubt she would even consider doing for a hack job such as this.
Who didn’t see this coming?
