Those are not acts of "law enforcement" (even factoring in all the military hardware the Pentagon has transitioned from war zones to municipal police departments).

Pointing to Obama's war-making isn't about attacking or defending him. It's about exposing Cheney and other hawks in the Republican Party whose contribution to the foreign-policy debate is misinformation. They fail to offer critiques that might help the U.S. because they operate as if obviously false positions are true. The number of countries Obama has dropped bombs on exceeds the number of draft deferments Cheney has sought (five), a claim not many presidents can make.

And as Eli Lake reported in 2010:

When it comes to the legal framework for confronting terrorism, President Obama is acting in no meaningful sense any different than President Bush after 2006, when the Supreme Court overturned the view that the president’s war time powers were effectively unlimited. As the Obama administration itself is quick to point out, the Bush administration also tried terrorists apprehended on U.S. soil in criminal courts, most notably “20th hijacker” Zacarias Moussaoui and shoe bomber Richard Reid. More important, President Obama has embraced and at times defended the same expansive view of a global war against Al Qaeda as President Bush. The U.S. still reserves the right to hold suspected terrorists indefinitely without charge, try them via military tribunal, keep them imprisoned even if they are acquitted, and kill them in foreign countries with which America is not formally at war (including Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan). When Obama closed the secret CIA prisons known as “black sites,” he specifically allowed for temporary detention facilities where a suspect could be taken before being sent to a foreign or domestic prison, a practice known as “rendition.” And even where the Obama White House has made a show of how it has broken with the Bush administration, such as outlawing enhanced interrogation techniques, it has done so through executive order, which can be reversed at any time by the sitting president.

Love or hate him, Obama has chosen to wage war on terrorists every bit as much as Cheney has chosen to spend his retirement outside the reality-based community. Should Hillary Clinton win the Democratic primary, it will be interesting to see if Cheney acknowledges the frequency with which she has championed war or keeps insisting that the rival party's leader favors a "law-enforcement approach." In many respects, the U.S. would be better off if only he were right.
