Cheney wan't even in office when Fort Hood was attacked, HOWEVER, Awaki was 'out there' as an American Cleric doing the same damn thing he was doing when Fort Hood was attacked, but, Bush/Cheney did nothing to stop him.

“Now they clearly had moved in the direction of taking robust action when they feel it is justified. I say in this case I think it was, but I think they need to go back and reconsider what the president said when he was in Cairo,” he added.
“If you’ve got the president of the United States out there saying we’ve overreacted to 9/11 on our watch, that’s not good,” he told host Candy Crowley....
