Cheney blasts Obama for lying on Afghanistan

FOXNews

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that the Bush administration had developed a new strategy on the war in Afghanistan before leaving office —a strategy that he said "bears a striking resemblance"to the one announced by President Obama in March.

In a speech to the Center for Security Policy,Cheney said the Bush administration handed Obama’s transition team a policy review of the Afghan war conducted last fall to meet the new challenges posed by the Taliban.

Cheney’s comments countered a recent claim by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel that the Obama administration had to form an Afghan war strategy from scratch because the Bush administration hadn’t asked any key questions about the war and left it "adrift."
