Former Vice President Dick Cheney praised the Obama administration for taking out high-ranking Al-Qaeda member Anwar al-Awlaki this week, but said President Barack Obama should now apologize to former President George W. Bush for his past criticism of Bush’s actions on the war on terror.
Cheney recalled Obama’s previous condemnation of so-called “enhanced interrogation techniques,” and said the strike against al-Awlaki, an American citizen, shows the administration has “moved in the direction of taking robust action when they feel it is justified.”
“I think it was a very good strike. I think it was justified,” Cheney said in an interview Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.“ ”I‘m waiting for the administration to go back and correct something they said two years ago when they criticized us for quote ’overreacting’ to the events of 9/11.”
