Cheney urges strong U.S. commitment to Afghan war: BE
NTON HARBOR, Michigan - Former Vice President Dick Cheney on Thursday urged President Barack Obama to commit enough troops to win the war in Afghanistan, warning hesitation would embolden U.S. foes and devastate its allies.Two questions:'I don't see how he can do anything other than move aggressively to achieve victory,' the Wyoming Republican, a harsh critic of the new administration, said in a speech to a Michigan business group.
'Our adversaries take heart from our hesitation and vacillation,' Cheney said.
'Our not following through will have devastating consequences not only for Afghanistan but also for our NATO allies. This is the first time ever (NATO members have) committed troops to combat.'
- Can wars ever be won?
- Who asked Uncle Dick's opinion? Who cares about his opinion?
