Former Vice President Dick Cheney called the Obama administration’s handling of the terrorist attack in Benghazi "a failure of leadership," reports the Daily Mail:
"They should have been ready before anything ever happened," Cheney told MailOnline exclusively during a party in Georgetown celebrating the launch of a new book by former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
"I mean, it's North Africa - Libya, where they've already had major problems," Cheney said. "You know that al-Qaeda is operating there, and you have some of the other al-Qaeda-affiliated groups there like Ansar al-Sharia and others." […]
"When we were there, on our watch, we were always ready on 9/11, on the anniversary," he recalled. "We always anticipated they were coming for us, especially in that part of the world." […]
"I've heard senior officials in the Obama administration say, 'well, we didn't know what we'd be sending them into, so we didn't send 'em.' Hogwash!" Cheney exclaimed. "Those guys train for that. They're damned good at it."
