Cheney: We would have been ready for Benghazi attack
Ex-Vice President Dick Cheney claims the Benghazi attack was a “failure of leadership” by the Obama administration, and that the Bush administration would have been ready and would have responded to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed the U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other American embassy staff.
“When we were there, on our watch, we were always ready on 9/11, on the anniversary,” Cheney told the U.K.’s Daily Mail. “We always anticipated they were coming for us, especially in that part of the world . . . I cannot understand why they weren’t ready to go.”
The Bush-Cheney administration was, however, widely criticized for ignoring signs and intelligence report in advance of the original Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist hijackings and attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
As well, Cheney has been taken to task for his prediction that U.S. troops would be “greeted as liberators” when they invaded Iraq in the spring of 2003.
