Cheney: Obama seems 'afraid' to make decision on Afghanistan
After dialing back his attacks on President Obama's foreign policy, former Vice President Dick Cheney says the administration has damaged U.S. ties with key allies, dangerously wavered in Afghanistan, undermined progress in Iraq and sabotaged the Bush administration's national security legacy.
In a hard-hitting, wide-ranging speech Wednesday for a conservative gathering, Cheney targeted the administration's decision-making process on how to proceed in Afghanistan, saying Obama has failed to give troops on the ground a clear mission or defined goals and appeared "afraid to make a decision."
Cheney also targeted White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who suggested on CNN's "State of the Union With John King" on Sunday the Bush administration failed to assess conditions in Afghanistan adequately before committing troops there.
