Cheney Calls for Air Strike Over Captured Drone



It is the first ever call for an air strike over a captured drone, former Vice President Dick Cheney said on Monday that President Barack Obama should have ordered an “air strike” on Iran..

“The right response to that would have been to go in immediately after it had gone down and destroy it,” Cheney told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “You can do that from the air. You can do that with a quick air strike, and in effect make it impossible for them to benefit from having captured that drone.”

“I was told that the president had three options on his desk. He rejected all of them,” the former vice president added.

“They all involved sending somebody in to try to recover it, or if you can’t do that, admittedly that would be a difficult operation, you certainly could have gone in and destroyed it on the ground with an air strike.”
