Powell: Cheney memoir takes 'cheap shots'

By Meghashyam Mali - 08/30/11 05:25 PM ET

Former Bush administration Secretary of State Colin Powell accused former Vice President Dick Cheney of taking “cheap shots” at him in his newly released memoir.

Speaking on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday Powell criticized Cheney for saying that his new book would have “heads exploding all over Washington.” Powell said that remark was “not the kind of headline I would have expected to come from one of the vice presidents of the United States of America."

"I think Dick overshot the runway," he added.

Powell also responded to Cheney’s suggestions in his memoir that the former Secretary of State failed to present his policy disagreements to the president. "I gave the president my best advice,” insisted Powell.
