Liz Cheney criticizes the Barack Obama apology tour
Here are some comments made by Liz Cheney regarding Barack Obama’s tendency to criticize the United States:
“As we see this president repeatedly go onto foreign soil and accuse America of having tortured people, talk about Guantanamo Bay as an abandonment of our ideals, that part of the speech to me is really, is nothing short of shameful,” Cheney said. “And its not just an attack on political opponents, it really is casting aspersions and I would say slandering the men and women in the CIA who carried out key programs that kept us safe.”
These won’t be popular comments, but they’re true. I also find it strange that the U.S. is criticized for waterboarding, yet the information gained from waterboarding was ignored, along with potential terrorist attacks which were prevented. By criticizing these methods of interrogation, aren’t Barack Obama and like-minded liberals essentially saying it would have been better to risk further attacks against Americans? It certainly seems that way to me.
