Former Vice Pres. Dick Cheney Compares Iran Deal to Munich Deal That Led to WWII.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney Compares Iran Deal to Munich Deal That Led to WWII. (CN).

Former Vice President Dick Cheney and his daughter, Liz Cheney, are likening President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran to the Munich agreement that paved the way for World War II, saying it makes war “more, not less, likely.”

And for members of Congress, who face a vote on the agreement next month, the choice before them is whether to facilitate “Tehran’s deadly objectives with potentially catastrophic consequences for the United States and our allies.”

“The Obama agreement will lead to a nuclear-armed Iran, a nuclear-arms race in the Middle East and, more than likely, the first use of a nuclear weapon since Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” the two wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Friday night.

“The president has tried to sell this bad deal by claiming that there is no alternative, save war. In fact, this agreement makes war more, not less, likely,” they wrote. “In addition to accelerating the spread of nuclear weapons across the Middle East, it will provide the Iranians with hundreds of billions of dollars in sanctions relief, which even the Obama administration admits likely will be used to fund terror.”

The Cheneys criticize what they see as inadequate verifications for inspections of Iran’s nuclear sites, the removal of restrictions on Iran’s ballistic missile program and the lifting of sanctions against the regime, which they believe will help Iran fund terror.

“It is possible to prevent Iran from attaining a nuclear weapon, but only if the U.S. negotiates from a position of strength, refuses to concede fundamental points and recognizes that the use of military force will be required if diplomacy fails to convince Iran to abandon its quest for nuclear weapons,” they wrote.

“The right person in the Oval Office can restore America’s strength and alliances, defeat our enemies, and keep us safe. It won’t be easy. There is a path forward, but there are difficult decisions to be made and very little time,” they wrote.

The op-ed was adapted from an upcoming book by the Cheneys entitled “Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America,” which is set to be published on Tuesday. Read the full story here.

Bolton: Obama Wants Stronger Welfare, Weaker Military.(Newsmax).

Proposed Pentagon budget cuts that “downsize the military” have to do with President Barack Obama’s aim to fund “welfare at home” rather than maintain military preparedness overseas, John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, charged today.

Bolton told “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV that Obama previewed a questionable strategy “to fundamentally transform America” during his 2008 election campaign.

“This military budget is part of that exercise,” Bolton charged. “He wants to downsize the military, quite apart from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he wants to leave his successors with a smaller American military, and he wants to spend more money on welfare programs at home.”

Bolton noted the best war is one that's never fought, but the best way to prevent wars from being fought is "through a demonstration of strength so that the adversary says, 'I'm not even going to think about going there.'"

As the U.S. military is downsized, he warned, "our adversaries are encouraged to think that they can take risky, belligerent actions and get away with it."

Bolton said Congress and the nation need a debate not just on the budget, but on "whether we want a declining, withdrawing, less powerful, less assertive, less capable United States, because that's the direction the president's moving in.""He doesn't want to say it, but that's what this budget is all about," Bolton said.

He charged that Obama has been whittling away at the nation's military capabilities since his firm term.Read the full story at NEWSMAX.

Cheney Slams Obama’s Troop Budget: "Obama “would rather spend the money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops.”HT: Politico.

Dick Cheney, the former vice president, is not a fan of the proposed cuts to the military budget. Last night, he went on Fox News’ Hannity to claim the budget was “absolutely dangerous” and argue that Obama “would rather spend the money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops.”

Cheney also said he believed the cuts are “over the top” and will “do enormous long-term damage.” Because Cheney has never been accused of having personal, financial reasons for growing the military budget. read the full story here.
