The "Dick" Cheney attacks Obama ahead of speech tonight... [View all]

Dick Cheney "delivered a prebuttal of sorts" ahead of his nationally-televised statement tonight on combating the Islamic State, according to Business Insider.

Said Cheney: "In a few hours we'll hear what he has in mind for the terrorist onslaught currently in Iraq. We can hope for -- and we should look for -- signs of a forceful, bold, and immediate strategy to defeat ISIS. We can say already, however, that such a plan would mark an abrupt and dramatic departure from his rhetoric thus far."

He added that Obama was pursuing "utterly failed" policies that were "willfully blind" of what is needed to maintain U.S. security.
