"Keeper of the Flame"
Cheney: Obama 'dithering' on Afghanistan
Giving Dick Cheney a 'keeper of the flame' award is very fitting since he was always the type of guy who volunteered to stay behind with the women and children and keep the fire lit while the men went off to fight. Dick Cheney has been a coward his entire life.

And he has the audacity to criticize Barack Obama on Afghanistan after he and Bush ignored it for over seven years. Cheney's comment yesterday that in the "fall of 2008, the Bush administration "dug into every aspect of Afghanistan policy" is laughable since they only did that after candidate Obama embarrassed their incompetent asses into doing something. And why didn't anyone from the 'Center for Security Policy' ask Cheney why they waited seven years until the 'fall of 2008' to start digging?

And on Dickhead's comment about Obama and his, "abandonment of missile defense in Eastern Europe being a strategic blunder"? That decision was made by President Obama after the unanimous recommendation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense, asshole.

Who do you think Obama should listen to, the Joint Chiefs and Robert Gates or the country's most shameless Chickenhawk? That should be an easy choice for anyone who's paid attention.

UPDATE: When Bush and Cheney were asked for more troops for Afghanistan;

"...In 2008, Gen. David D. McKiernan, then the top U.S. commander in Kabul, specifically asked the Bush administration for more troops for Afghanistan, but was rebuffed:

“There was a saying when I got there: If you’re in Iraq and you need something, you ask for it,” McKiernan said in his first interview since being fired. “If you’re in Afghanistan and you need it, you figure out how to do without it.” By late last summer, he decided to tell George W. Bush’s White House what he knew it did not want to hear: He needed 30,000 more troops. He wanted to send some to the country’s east to bolster other U.S. forces, and some to the south to assist overwhelmed British and Canadian units in Helmand and Kandahar provinces.

The Bush administration opted not to act on McKiernan’s request and instead set out to persuade NATO allies to contribute more troops.

Yeah Dick, who was doing the 'dithering' when it really counted?
