Cheney calls for air strike on Iran over captured drone | The Raw Story < Video


Former Vice President Dick Cheney said on Monday that President Barack Obama should have ordered an “air strike” on Iran after they recently captured a U.S. drone.

Earlier on Monday, President Barack Obama had explained that U.S. officials asked Iran to return the RQ-170 Sentinel surveillance drone.

“The right response to that would have been to go in immediately after it had gone down and destroy it,” Cheney told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “You can do that from the air. You can do that with a quick air strike, and in effect make it impossible for them to benefit from having captured that drone.”



“I was told that the president had three options on his desk. He rejected all of them,” the former vice president added.

“They all involved sending somebody in to try to recover it, or if you can’t do that, admittedly that would be a difficult operation, you certainly could have gone in and destroyed it on the ground with an air strike.”

For their part, Iran has called on the U.S. to apologize, saying the U.S. broke international laws by violating their airspace.

Asia includes Middle East too, and I don't think you're very wanted. Actually I think that extends to most of the world.

We are not the one who is drawing up new maps and telling the smaller Asian countries where they can and cannot go at sea.

We're not the one lying to the world about some made up WMD and false pretense about spreading democracy in order to grab oil. By the way, which country did we militarily occupy in the last 30 years?
