Cheney: We would have been ready for Benghazi attack
http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2013/05/08/cheney-we-would-have-been-ready-for-benghazi-attack/
Ex-Vice President Dick Cheney claims the Benghazi attack was a failure of leadership by the Obama administration, and that the Bush administration would have been ready and would have responded to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed the U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other American embassy staff.
When we were there, on our watch, we were always ready on 9/11, on the anniversary, Cheney told the U.K.s Daily Mail. We always anticipated they were coming for us, especially in that part of the world . . . I cannot understand why they werent ready to go.
The Bush-Cheney administration was, however, widely criticized for ignoring signs and intelligence report in advance of the original Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist hijackings and attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
As well, Cheney has been taken to task for his prediction that U.S. troops would be greeted as liberators when they invaded Iraq in the spring of 2003.

Hillary is going to get 100-125 million votes in 2016 and 2020. The record is a little under 70.
