++Richard Bruce Cheney rises from the dead again. In a lengthy and frankly well-argued op-ed, Cheney makes the neo-conservative argument that the world needs the United States as it leader as it has been before WWII and afterwards.
++The column is worth a read to listen to how twisted the logic is. Cheney argues that no group of narration can do what we do --guarantee the world's security and that we must continue to do so.
++He argues that Barack Obama alone of the Presidents threw away the bipartisan consensus on American exceptionalism. Now he threatens a great tool for the world--the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Yes, Barack Obama who has been committed to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons his whole political career is going to destroy the Non-proliferation Treaty.
++How? By having negotiated the Iran nuclear deal, which resembles Neville Chamberlain's agreement with Hitler. See. Iran will continue to enrich uranium when we should have said no.
++Not only has President Obama don't that but he has destroyed our military preparedness. Because of sequester cuts, President Obama has gutted the military. P.S. Military spending has gone up 38% since he came into office. It has reached an all-time high.
++Cheney favorable uses Charles Krauthammer's quote that he stand at the "hinge of history" and must elect the next President to restore the bipartisan consensus we are an exceptional country.
++This is the Great State Nationalism that Col. Wilkinson had mentioned about neo-conservatives. The United States is supposed to be a Hyperpower capable of forcing its will on other countries. It is unilateralism at its worse.
++So now you have been alerted to Cheney's AEI speech against the Iranian Nuclear Deal. Islamic Fundamentalism is son a rampage and the deal ends the Non-prolferation Pact, which unilateralists love so much.
++There are a few moments in the op-ed where he cribs from Reagan's speeches,particularly on D-Day.
++He lapses into the American myth that we won WWII, when the Soviet Union lost tens of millions in defeating Nazi Germany.
++President Obama is also responsible for ISIS rising.
++Cheney is still a very dangerous man.
