Obama has abandoned Iraq, leaving a vacuum that is being tragically and ominously filled by our enemies.

He is on course to forsake Afghanistan as well.

Dick Cheney is one of the greatest statesmen of our time when it comes to understanding and advocating American interests. Had he been president, American interests in the Middle East would have been much better protected than they were under GWB. And American achievements in the Middle East under Cheney would have been less susceptible to erosion under the disastrous and disgraceful administration that followed.

“So we should send them the materials they need then?”

Why in the world would you want to do that? Unless of course those materials were sent fully assembled and set to detonate upon arrival. But certainly one would hope that would be a last resort.

No, rather than sending them the materials as you are suggesting, perhaps there needs to be consequences for them building a nuke other than words. I do not support giving Iran the first strike before any action is taken by the U.S. or Israel.

So let me ask you a question. Do you think Iran’s desire to acquire a nuke is to use it as a deterrent against potential aggression from other nations? I don’t think they have the ability to restrain themselves from using such a weapon, either directly, or through a proxy.

Dick Cheney and daughter Liz appeared on Rush Limbaugh's radio show today, talking up their new book on American exceptionalism and history of world leadership, targeted toward millennial readers.

Their comparison of the Obama Iran deal to the Munich pact has much validity, though that notion has been widespread since the deal was announced and hardly originated with the Cheneys.

true.
differences between Obama/Iran and Munich...

1. Chamberlain was a subject/citizen and patriot of the country he led.
2. Great Britain was very weak and many military experts said it could not handle war with Germany, that time at least was needed to prepare.
3. Munich did not enable Hitler to acquire nuclear bombs (though of course he later went hard to work trying to make them)
4. Munich did not reward Hitler with $150 Billion
5. Hitler was at least talking like he ‘wanted peace’ — an obvious deception, even then, yes.... but he played the part of a peacemaker with Chamberlain (unlike Iran which to this very day is still averring its plans to destroy USA)

but yes, Munich is probably the best comparison available
.. its just that Munich was, for all its disasterous short-sightedness — not nearly as dangerous as what Obama is doing to America TODAY
4.

Thanks for pointing out those dissimilarities between the Munich Pact and the Obama Iran deal.

The bottom line is that the Obama Iran deal is even more dangerous than the Munich Pact proved to be!

In short, Chamberlain was naive. Obama is a deliberate saboteur.
