Cheney: 'We're Still at War' and Dems Are 'Trashing a Program That Worked and Saved Lives'

December 14, 2014

Former Vice President Dick Cheney sat down with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd Sunday to discuss the responses to the recent Senate CIA report.

Cheney took issue with one individual from the United Nations, Ben Emerson, who has called for a criminal investigation.

"I have little respect for the United Nations," Cheney said, "or for this individual who doesn't have a clue and had absolutely no responsibility for safeguarding this nation and going after the bastards that killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11."

Cheney argued that no crimes were committed, and that the report takes away from our main focus, which should be on the terrorists who are still active abroad.

"One of the things I'm really worried about is what this is doing long term," Cheney said. "We're still at war. The terrorists out there today are as bad as it was on 9/11. We've got ISIS talking about the United States having created a caliphate."

Meanwhile, Democrats are "trashing a very, very good program that worked, that saved lives, that kept us from another attack," Cheney said.
