He should listen to Cheney.....

Wouldn't you rather have Obama listen to people who previously made the right choices in the battle field, instead of someone who blundered the initial invasion? Obama repeated Bush's bailouts and stimulus spending which didn't turn out well, so he should be weary of repeating…

Ironic statement, considering that one of the biggest criticisms of Cheney and Bush's treatment of the Afganistan and Iraq wars was thier failure to have a big enough invading force to be effective early on in the war. The lack of troop levels was also a noted reason for the…
