Cheney: Obama's policies make WMD attack during his watch likely

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Judging by what he sees in Obamas policies so far, former VP Cheney is warning Americans:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a "high probability" that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration's policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration's support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans -- and, he charged, many members of Obama's own team -- understand.

"When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry," Cheney said.

Unfortunately, I place a higher value on Cheney's assessment than I do on Team Obama's willingness to listen or to know how or be willing to do the right thing in protecting America, given their leftist world view.
