Dick Cheney says he doesn’t think Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9/11 attacks. More than six years after the Bush administration took us to war in Iraq — after 4,310 Americans died there, and with U.S. troops possibly staying in that country for years to come — the former vice president says the Iraqi dictator had nothing to do with the planning or execution of the terror attacks. http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2009/06/02/cheney-says-no-link-between-saddam-and-911/ So how does this make you people feel?
I really hated the fact that Cheney was quoted in saying that Iraq had Nuclear Weapons before the War began. The fuckin' nerve of these people.
It was clear from the beginning that he was lying. You had everyone from citizens to David Letterman being shocked that something like this could happen years before this statement... Looking for evidence that he could do such a thing... meanwhile the evidence was always available. Cheney's statement is meaningless. Just tossing us a bone and pretty much rubbing our noses in it. "hehehe, I got away with it. Obama won't even do anything about it. Have a nice day. "
i don't think the administration ever really said that iraq had anything to do with 9/11...directly at least. it seemed more like propaganda insinuations geared to convince american idiots and make anyone against the war "unpatriotic."
Funny isn't it how the Saudi connection was deemed irrelevant. Just innuendo but it worked: http://www.democracynow.org/2003/9/16/cheney_suggests_iraq_is_linked_to Cheney was always talking about the 93 bombing, but that's not what the American public heard. That's not why their children signed up to fight. But none of the newscasts except a few pushed him for clarification. So he get's off on a technicality.
Cheney got to love him: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2003/09/004684.php Parsed it well didn't he?
What's sad is that at the time the media never ask the hard questions. They never made him say it was the 90's attack he was talking about. And they knew. They wanted the same outcome he did. And they got it. And the American public was duped.
