Former US vice president Dick Cheney has delivered a stinging attack on the foreign policy of President Obama. Mr Cheney said the President was "dithering" and "waffling" on Afghanistan while American troops face constant danger.
The former number two in the White House has criticised Mr Obama before, but these are his strongest words yet.
It is convention that former presidents and vice presidents are not outspoken in their criticism of successors.
George W Bush has made few public statements on Mr Obama.
But in a speech to a think tank in Washington, Mr Cheney said: "Having announced his Afghanistan strategy in March, President Obama now seems afraid to make a decision, and unable to provide his commander on the ground with the troops he needs to complete the mission.
"It's time for President Obama to make good on his promise. The White House must stop dithering while America's armed forces are in danger.

Draft Deferment Dick makes a brave noise for someone who never served a day in the military, never spent a day in harm's way, and never spent one second at Dover to witness just a small sampling of the death and carnage wrought by his jingoistic polices. Draft Deferment Dick prefers to work his "bravery" from bunkers of undisclosed location. Draft Deferment Dick has the blood of tens of thousands of dead, maimed, and wounded on his hands. He is the very personification of evil.
Why does this fool think anyone can take him seriously, he must think we forgot about all about the war in Iraq and his role in getting us into that mess. This man should dig hole and climb in it for the next 20 years.
Go away Cheney and let Obama clean up the messes you and your lying dog cohorts made. Go spend some of your Halliburton money from the War you wrongly declared on the innocent people in Iraq. You have no shame, only a huge ego. Dispicable man.
Hey Dick, who left Obama with an unfinished Afghanistan in the first place? Oh, right...it was you and your butt-puppet W.
You accuse Obama of "dithering"?! You and the wannabe cowboy who was afraid of horses from Texas had 8 fuckin years to address Afghanistan, and now you criticize Obama for waiting to see how the Afghan election pans out? What an unbelievable asshole!
BODYGUARDEAGLE - Not a girlie-man, not a man, not a woman...yet. BODYGUARDEAGLE is working on some gender issues. Next? It's on to humor issues. Then hopefully, working on his/hers/its reading comprehension.
