Finally, someone is speaking out. My first reaction to the downing of that 6 million dollar spy drone was one of anger. I knew, from the get go, that Obama had an opportunity to destroy the thing and didn’t. How did I know? Well, because that is the way Liberals react to such incidences.
Sure enough, in the days immediately following the failure of the drone, Obama admitted that he, indeed, had a choice but decided not to destroy the drone for fear that it would be misunderstood as an act of war.
Where are the Republicans on this issue? Hiding the Bushes? Trying to be “nice” to Obama? Turns out that Barack is not the only coward on the Hill.
Well, Dick Cheney came out, yesterday. And here is what he had to say:
The right response to that would have been to go in immediately after it had gone down and destroy it," Cheney said. "You can do that from the air. You can do that with a quick airstrike, and, in effect, make it impossible for them to benefit from having captured that drone. . . . . I was told that the president had three options on his desk. He rejected all of them. They all involved sending somebody in, you know, to try to recover it or -- if you can't do that, and admittedly, that'd be a difficult operation -- you certainly could have gone in and destroyed it on the ground with an airstrike. But he didn't take any of the options. He asked nicely for them to return it and they aren't gonna do that."
Understand that "asking nice" is tantamount to doing absolutely nothing.
Enough said.
