Former Vice President Dick Cheney continued his criticism of the Obama administration’s foreign policy Tuesday on Hannity, disagreeing with the idea that Obama had no responsibility for Iraq’s current crisis.
Cheney cited the RAND Corporation’s study revealing a “58-percent increase in the number of jihadist groups, a doubling of jihadist fighters and a tripling of attacks by al Qaeda affiliate” since 2010.
“Partly, I think it’s important to understand this isn’t just about Iraq,” Cheney said. “It’s part of a much larger problem … It’s not just about Iraq. It’s the fact that now Iraq and Syria are both potential trouble spots, and as we see this proliferation of terrorists, we’ve also at the same time had an administration that didn’t want to recognize there was a problem. They like to say, ‘We got bin Laden, problem solved,’ or ‘We decimated al Qaeda.’ What they’ve decimated is the U.S. Defense Department.”
