Former vice president Cheney challenges Pence at private retreat, compares Trump’s foreign policy to Obama’s approach

A chummy discussion between Vice President Pence and former vice president Richard B. Cheney quickly turned into a vigorous back-and-forth over President Trump’s foreign policy at a private gathering on Saturday, with Cheney comparing the president’s instincts to those of his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama, according to a transcript obtained by The Washington Post.

At the closed-door retreat hosted by the American Enterprise Institute on March 9 in Sea Island, Ga., Cheney respectfully but repeatedly and firmly pressed Pence on a number of the president’s foreign policy moves — over which Cheney expressed concerns — from taking a harder line toward U.S. allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to deciding to withdraw troops from Syria during what Cheney fretted was “the middle of a phone call.”

Cheney also worried aloud to Pence that “we’re getting into a situation when our friends and allies around the world that we depend upon are going to lack confidence in us,” and then offered a blunt criticism of the current administration’s response to foreign policy challenges.

Takes from Wapo.

I won't even post Raw story, I think that's a clearly leftist website, sometimes you go with the source you have.

A pretty significant story and btw, a lot of places will probably publish it at their website... you might not know it's WaPo unless you look. I think one can often separate stories from the editorial board.

Some might actually be concerned with the significance of this story.

transcript obtained by The Washington Post.

At the closed-door retreat

Did Cheney and Pence know that their words, would take "transcript" form, and be "obtained?"

I would like to just read or listen to the transcript.

I do not dislike Cheney. In my family there was pride a WY guy got that power, position influence.

I think as Sec. Def. under BushII with Iraq-I, they did well.

I think later under Bush II they made a mess of the Sept. 11 reaction, failing to turn Afghanistan into a nuclear parking lot, then going back into Iraq-II.

Just my take.

Since the Bush family is severely #nevertrump, pro-amnesty I expect Cheney would follow suit with them, etc.

Disagree.  If we don't read what the other side is writing, we'll just be an echo chamber, leaving our Members unequipped to do intellectual battle.

I have no problem reading what the leftist propagandists write, but calling something a news story when nothing about it is verified or confirmed - just anonymous sources - should cause any of us to be skeptical.

I agree it's likely to be Propaganda, but we still need to see what Propaganda's being fed to the LIVs.  Heck, I'm skeptical of things I read in sources like Brietbart and American Thinker too.
