liz cheney went on to say he slandered the nation and i think he owes an apology to the american peoplepolicies that kept us safe, the policies he's implementing and the ones we had. >> i don't disagree with them. i think that that is hitting it right because i remember very specifically during the 2008 run-up to the election, we were in the middle of a huge legislative battle on the foreign intelligence surveillance act. and president obama, then senator, was harshly critical of president bush all during that time and i remember asking president bush in the oval office, you know, how do you want me to handle this at the podium? and he said, i don't care how unpopular i get, as long as we get these policies in place so that whoever the next president is can uses them to keep america safe. president obama has used those tools and that infrastructure with some modification including this decision to kill more of the terrorists rather than try to capture them. now, maybe they do try to capture them and i don't know about it but we hear a lot about the killing. one issue about killing them,

dick cheney and his daughter, liz. they want an apology from president obama.ook. >> the thing i'm waiting for is for the administration to go back and correct something they said two years ago when they criticized us for, quote, overreacting to the events of 9/11. >> i think he did tremendous damage. i think he slandered the nation and i think he owes an apology to the american people. those are the policies that kept us safe. >> did you ever know that that family is always asking for apologies? it takes a lot of nerve for cheney, the cheneys to ask for an apology from any american in my opinion. let's take a quick look at what former vice president owes america. when it comes to an apology. cheney owes the country an apology for maybe ignore the august 6th, 2001, presidential daily briefing saying that bin laden was determined to attack the united states. how about for letting bin laden escape from tora bora? for pressuring the cia to come up with intelligence of wmds in iraq. the former halliburton ceo should apologize for no good contracts that went to his
