Cheney: No 'evidence' of Iraq, 9/11 link

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says there was “never any evidence” that Saddam Hussein’s Iraq played any role in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.

“On the question of whether or not Iraq was involved in 9/11, there was never any evidence to prove that,” Cheney said during an interview Monday night with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren.

“There was some reporting early on, for example, that Mohammed Atta had met with a senior Iraqi intelligence official,” Cheney said. “But that was never borne out.”

In a 2003 interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Cheney said that “the Czechs alleged that Mohamed Atta, the lead attacker, met in Prague with a senior Iraqi intelligence official five months before the attack.”

But Cheney added, “We’ve never been able to develop any more of that yet, either in terms of confirming it or discrediting it. We just don’t know.”

Cheney said Monday that former CIA Director George Tenet brought to the Bush White House information pertaining to potential links between the hijacker and Iraq as “it became available.” But Cheney pointed out that Tenet “did say and did testify that there was an ongoing relationship between al Qaeda and Iraq, but no proof that Iraq was involved in 9/11.”

The former vice president explained away the early uncertainty of the connection by insisting that intelligence gathering is “more an art form than a science,” pointing to several examples of past CIA failures.

“They misread Saddam Hussein's intent when he invaded Kuwait in 1990,” Cheney said. “They underestimated the extent of the Iraqi program to try to acquire nuclear capability back in '90 and '91. They missed 9/11.”

Cheney did not list the never-found Iraqi weapons of mass destruction as an intelligence failure, saying only that the CIA and the broader intelligence community have done a “magnificent job as part of the effort to keep the United States safe these last seven and a half years.”

“The intelligence community has had some enormous successes in the last few years,” he said. “You usually don't hear about the successes. What you hear about are the train wrecks, the things that didn't work out quite right.”

...But of course, would have been nice for him to say this BEFORE he invaded Iraq....Douche

[Patrick Degan]

Gee, it's taken him nine years to admit what the rest of us have known since the run-up to Mr. Bush's War and which Count Dick kept maintaining was true just about up to the end of their misrule.

Fucking liar.

[Thanas]

I am sure the democrats will use this to stage a war tribunal while masses of americans will protest their nation engaging in a war of aggression...oh wait, nobody cares.

[Darth Yoshi]

What the fuck. The sheer gall of this man, to go on the air and admit to lying like that. The worst part is that he'll get away with it, too.

[The Spartan]

The worst part is that Bush already admitted it. I think it was during the 06 election season. He was going on and on about 9/11 this in regards to Iraq and a reporter asked him what Iraq had to do with 9/11. His response was, "Nothing." You could tell he was irritated about having to admit that, too.

I wonder how the man goes to sleep every night, knowing that the deaths of thousands of American soldiers and the deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqis are due to him.

He shoots back a nice healthy hooker of cognac paid for with the millions he receives from profit shares of Halliburton making money off no-bid contracts to supply the armed forces with whatever shit they feel like.

On a large pile of money surrounded by many beautiful money. And he bathes in the tears of a thousand orphans and wipes it off with towels made from the hide of 100 kittens, raised in love in care before being betrayed and strangled.

The important thing to never forget about Cheney's continued involvement in the torture story is that he was personally involved in it, and was probably the highest ranking administration official to be directly involved, which means that if there's ever a real investigation he's going to be vulnerable to prosecution for war crimes. So everything he says is designed to avoid dying in prison. It's possible that he's admitting this now as a way of undermining the establishment of the administration's motive for torture: they can't have been torturing detainees to make them say that Iraq and Al Qaeda were allies, if they knew that was false all along, right?

Just in case we forgot what sort of person we're dealing with.
Cheney blasts media on al Qaeda-Iraq link Says media not 'doing their homework' in reporting ties

Vice President Dick Cheney said Thursday the evidence is "overwhelming" that al Qaeda had a relationship with Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq, and he said media reports suggesting that the 9/11 commission has reached a contradictory conclusion were "irresponsible."

"There clearly was a relationship. It's been testified to. The evidence is overwhelming," Cheney said in an interview with CNBC's "Capitol Report."

Remember your forgetting to double think, he never said that, accusations such as this, the bush administration lying, torture, and the current economic situation are all lies perpetuated by the liberal media, goldstein, and the evil moslim tratior who stole the election. those who believe such lies should report to room 101 in the new GOP ministry of Love. Up next, the Minute of Hate with Glenn Beck.

-1984 jokes and the GOP just write themselves.
