The op-ed in question was co-written with Cheney's daughter Liz, former State Department worker and failed Senate candidate. The two are forming a new organization, the Alliance for a Strong America.
Of all the former Bush administration officials who have emerged in the last few days to blame the deteriorating situation in Iraq on Barack Obama, one might think Cheney would be among the last.
It's one thing to turn on your TV and hear that Obama is a dangerous weakling from people like Paul Wolfowitz and William Kristol, the ones who told us that war with Iraq would be cheap and easy, then bring a wave of peace and democracy across the Middle East.

(82,849 posts)It takes some real brass to do what the Cheneys did.
I'm surprised, though, that CNN would notice. I wonder what pushed it over the line for them to comment negatively on Darth and Daughter?

Fortunately, criticizing the Cheneys seems to be in vogue these days.
