Apparently former vice-president Dick Cheney is out there making public criticisms of the Obama administration.
It seems odd. I thought former Presidents and VP's went out of their way to be gracious towards their replacements...
But there are a lot odd things about Cheney.
He is concerned about how Obama treats suspected terrorists? I appreciate Cheney's concern but I wish he had been concerned about this issue BEFORE 9/11 - when he was warned by the Clinton administration about Osama and a pending attack on the US. I wish Cheney had been concerned when it could have prevented the 9/11 attacks.
I now think that failure is what changed Cheney. He more than anyone else knows that he failed to stop 9/11. He knows that American's died because he dropped the ball. Because he refused to listen to Richard Clark and Clinton's counter-terrorism experts.
People that knew Cheney say he is a changed man. I imagine that guilt is tearing him up inside. I imagine its that guilt that changed him and made him see the whole world as terrorists out to get us.
We never see the whole story but at the end of the day, we are all people with feelings and faults like everyone else. I dont forgive him but I guess it makes him easier to understand.
