2009: VP Cheney came back and forced Dems to think about national security

Back in 2009, VP Cheney returned to Washington because something funny happened on the way to hope and change:

"Congressional Democrats are voicing growing unease over the Obama administration’s national security policies, including the seemingly open-ended commitment in Afghanistan and the nettlesome question of what to do with prisoners held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba."
The concern was rooted on the reality that the Obama administration seemed naive and confused about our enemies.      In other words, the campaign rhetoric just did not match the reality of governing.   Closing GITMO was a lot easier said than done.   Ending wars was not so easy either.

We are glad that VP Cheney came back and reminded us about the threats!
