Cheney: Obama Admitted Iraq ‘Was in Good Shape’ When He Became President

GANGEL: “You blamed spread of ISIS on President Obama. He says it's your fault that bush Cheney left the region unstable.”
CHENEY: “I think he's wrong. Look at the record. We had a situation in which by the time we got through the surge in '07 and '08, President Bush made a courageous decision and correct decision that Iraq was in good shape when we left office. Barack Obama said as much. What happened basically was they failed to follow through. They withdrew as quickly as possible and left no stay behind force there. They've created a vacuum and vacuum was filled by ISIS."
