55. What Does Cheney Know About Leadership During A Crisis

Sat Jul 14, 2012, 08:23 PM

Jul 2012

He faced two during his term and he failed miserably on both.

The first problem was the PDB of August 6, 2001 that proclaimed "bin Laden determined to strike inside US". After ignoring that dire warning he pulled the troops out of Tora Bora and allowed bin Laden to escape. In fact, bin Laden was still on the loose when he left office. Show me the leadership.

Second was the financial crisis and housing bubble. His reaction was to turn his head the other way when the warning lights were flashing brightly. The month he left office 818,000 Americans were added to the unemployed ranks. Cheney was clueless and in way over his head, leaving it to Obama to fix the terrible mess he left behind everywhere one looks. A fine one he is to weigh in on the issue of leadership during a crisis.
