Former VP Dick Cheney said the Obama administration’s handling of Benghazi looks like a cover-up and that Obama’s claim to victory in the War on Terror is “hogwash” in a Tuesday radio interview.
Cheney told radio host Sean Hannity: “It looks like this is gonna get messier and messier, and in fact, it looks like the administration’s been involved in a cover-up claiming that it was all caused by a YouTube video, when in fact, in was clearly the result of the developments with respect to Al-Qaeda and terrorism in North Africa.”
Cheney said the news that additional security forces in Benghazi were denied by the Obama administration only makes things worse.
Regarding Obama’s claim to victory in the War on Terror, Cheney said: “They refuse to recognize the situation we are in and that’s the first step towards ultimate failure and ultimately future terrorist attacks…They [just] like to go out and say, ‘bin Laden is dead, terrorism is dead, Al-Qaeda is dead, and you know, we’re great in the foreign policy field.’ But that’s hogwash.”
