"He's attempted to appease our enemies, the Iranians, for example, the Russians." -- Liz CheneyAs you can see, Liz Cheney subscribes to the 2012-is-actually-1992 theory that Russians are bad. As for Iranian appeasement, I thought it humorous that she would actually later mention Stuxnet; is she not aware of her cognitive dissonance?
"The one effective program that we may have had in place that would have been able to slow or stop that nuclear program, the Stuxnet cyber warfare activity...members of the president's national security team leaked to them. So this -- this president's record is clearly abysmal." -- Liz CheneyLiz Cheney seems oblivious that Stuxnet was just ONE known virus that was targeted at Iran; there have been several, as noted in David Sanger's book. And if you've kept up with technology news, a few others have been released since the book came out. She actually conflated Stuxnet's well-known existence with her prior speculation of the source's leak, as proof of an administration with a poor foreign record; how's that for irony?!?
[An aside: If you want to track the Stuxnet story and the viruses related to it, simply google, "Stuxnet + Wired". You can be more informed than Liz Cheney, by simply performing this single search, and reading the resulting Wired articles!]
Liz Cheney has proved herself to be just another wannabe Mitt Romney surrogate, that against all in-house criticism, latched onto a sinking ship and won't let go.
Update: Boom. Wired outlined today, several more viruses that are related to Stuxnet, as exposed by Symantic and Kaspersky. Just more proof that Liz Cheney should keep her mouth off subjects that she has limited understanding of.
