The next book by former Vice President Dick Cheney is aimed directly at President Barack Obama.
Cheney’s “Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America” will be published Sept. 1 by Threshold Editions, the publisher announced Tuesday. The book, co-authored by Cheney’s daughter Liz Cheney, contends that Obama has abandoned a decades-long tradition of American global leadership. In a statement issued by Threshold, a conservative imprint of Simon & Schuster, the former vice president said Obama had “significantly diminished” U.S. power at a time of a “rapidly growing” terrorist threat.
Cheney, a Republican, has been an emphatic critic of Obama, a Democrat, recently calling him the worst president in his lifetime. Cheney’s previous books include the memoir “In My Time” and “Heart,” about his long battle with cardiac disease.

Why does anybody think this guy has any idea how the world works and what America’s role in the world should be? He destroyed the strongest opponent to Iran in the Middle East. He attacked a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11 as a response to 9/11. He hallucinated WMD’s where there were none. And if he’s taking aim at Barack Obama, Mr. Obama has nothing to worry about, the the others in Mr. Cheney’s hunting party should duck.
You are forgetting that it was Iraq who fired large missiles into Israel during previous wars and evidence of Iraq’s WMD’s has been recently discovered.
We should remember that Cheney was one of the greatest war profiteers in history who considered the office of vice-president to be above the law.
He should be in jail not on book tours.
