In a new book, former Vice President Dick Cheney and daughter Liz Cheney argue that President Obama "has dangerously surrendered [the] nation's global leadership."
Before Obama became president, Republican and Democrat presidents understood and delivered on a "75-year, largely bipartisan tradition of ensuring America's pre-eminence and strength," the two write in their book, "Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America."
But, "despite the explosive spread of terrorist ideology and organizations, the establishment of an Islamic State caliphate in the heart of the Middle East, the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and increasing threats from Iran, China, North Korea and Russia, President Obama has departed from this 75-year, largely bipartisan tradition of ensuring America's pre-eminence and strength."
Obama has abandoned Iraq and Afghanistan, and America's leadership in the world, the two Cheneys charge in their book's excerpt published in the Wall Street Journal. His "dangerous cuts" to the military have hurt the nation's security and "left the Army as unready as it has been at any other time in its history," they write.
Cheney is critical of the Iran deal, saying that it will make war "more likely, not less" and that Obama seems ready "to gut" nuclear non-proliferation, something that presidents of both parties recognized the importance of for "more than 45 years."
"President Obama is unraveling this international structure as part of an agreement that provides a pathway for the world's worst state-sponsor of terror to acquire nuclear weapons," says the excerpt.

The latter is the more immediate threat to life and limb.
...thanks for posting. :)
Good Americans like the Chenys don’t get it. Obama is doing EXACTLY what he intended to do from the start. He is an evil, racist, Marxist, anti-American bastard who wants to destroy wetern civilization and culture which he views as oppresive and destructive of the cultures of third world ratholes like the ones which spawned him.
Don’t worry. We’re not gonna be around much longer after Iran gets their nukes. I just hope it hopes it blows some of the idiots that voted for it into pillars of salt.
Thar arrogant pos will try to refute Dick Cheney, but he can’t
In Cheney’s circles it’s still too taboo to admit all this could be purposeful... chivalry, I guess.

I believe you are miscalculating Dick Cheney and his daughter. They have seen through him from the beginning
Let’s hope the destruction Obama has caused the Democrat Party last a generation, it will take that long to rebuild America’s might, militarily and economically.
Indeed
From shooting old men in the face to starting an unneeded war in Iraq, Cheney really doesn’t have much room to talk as far as leaving a path of destruction.
I have never been a fan of Cheney, Bush the second, or Karl Rove.
There are not many liberals who like the Cheney’s. You’re just another I’ll informed one.
So now I’m a liberal because I don’t like a couple of particular people?
Good to know.
I’d still rather go hunting with Cheney than be a passenger in a car driven by Blimp Kennedy.
You hit all two of the libtard anti-Cheney talking points.
You forgot to use chimpymcbushitler to refer to Bush though.
“to starting an unneeded war in Iraq”
Would WMD be a good reason. Proof given in THE NEW YORK TIMES. I will let YOU hunt it down.
Oh heck
