Cheney tells Obama to 'stop dithering' on Afghanistan

Former US Vice President Dick Cheney accused the White House of dithering over the strategy for the war in Afghanistan and urged President Barack Obama to "do what it takes to win".

"Make no mistake. Signals of indecision out of Washington hurt our allies and embolden our adversaries," Mr Cheney said while accepting an award from a conservative national security group, the Centre for Security Policy.
