"NOW WE HAVE A CALIPHATE" -- Dick Cheney Obliterates the Foreign Policy Disaster That is Barack Obama

In an interview featured in Playboy Magazine (I only read it for the compelling stories), Dick Cheney unleashes a fusillade of nuclear truth-bombs on Barack Obama, who is -- without question -- the worst president in American history. Some highlights:

I think with respect to the situation in Iraq, his precipitous withdrawal and refusal to leave any stay-behind forces, to negotiate a Status of Forces Agreement with the Iraqis, was a huge mistake; we are paying a price for it now.
