Military action in Iran is likely unavoidable, Dick Cheney said on Sunday.
On ABC's 'This Week', host George Stephanopoulous asked Cheney about the effectiveness of diplomatic talks in Iran.
"Is military action against Iran inevitable?" he said.
"I have trouble seeing how we're going to achieve our objective short of that," Cheney said. "And I doubt very much that the diplomacy will be effective if there's not the prospect that, if diplomacy fails, that we will, in fact, resort to military force."
Cheney has long taken a hardline stance against Iran. As Vice President, he repeatedly pushed President Bush to pursue military action. In 2011, he urged President Obama to strike Iran to recover a drone...

When Cheney became eligible for the draft, during the Vietnam War, he applied for and received five draft deferments.. In 1989, The Washington Post writer George C. Wilson interviewed Cheney as the next Secretary of Defense; when asked about his deferments, Cheney reportedly said, "I had other priorities in the '60s than military service".. Cheney testified during his confirmation hearings in 1989 that he received deferments to finish a college career that lasted 6 years rather than 4, owing to sub-par academic performance and the need to work to pay for his education. Initially, he was not called up because the Selective Service System was only taking older men. When he became eligible for the draft, he applied for 4 deferments in sequence. He applied for his 5th exemption on January 19, 1966, when his wife was about 10 weeks pregnant.. He was granted 3-A status, the "hardship" exemption, which excluded men with children or dependent parents.. In January 1967, Cheney turned 26 and was no longer eligible for the draft...Ramind's of that Punji Stick Colin stepped on, accidently on purpose...
Casper: I begged and begged my dad to give me this sled, but he acted like I couldn't even have it, because I didn't know how to ride it. But then one morning, I came down for breakfast and there it was, just for me, for no reason at all. I took it out, went sledding all day. And my dad said "that's enough" but I couldn't stop, I was having so much fun It got late, got dark, got cold... and I got sick, and my dad got sad..
Kat: What's it like to die?
Casper: Like... being born, only backwards.. I remember, I didn't go where I was supposed to go. I just stayed behind, so my dad wouldn't be lonely...
