------------------------
Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that he does not believe Saddam Hussein was involved in the planning or execution of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney says Saddam Hussein "provided sanctuary ... and resources to terrorists."
He strongly defended the Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq, however, arguing that Hussein's previous support for known terrorists was a serious danger after 9/11.
Cheney, in an appearance at the National Press Club, also said he is intent on speaking out in defense of the Bush administration's national security record because "a clear understanding of policies that worked [in protecting the United States] is essential."
"I do not believe and have never seen any evidence to confirm that [Hussein] was involved in 9/11. We had that reporting for a while, [but] eventually it turned out not to be true," Cheney conceded.

well surprise sur-fucking-prise. now why should we believe anything else you have to say you lying sack of shit. he's simply trying to take a more moderate stance because he's single-handedly alienating huge numbers of people from the GOP with his baseless lies and extreme rhetoric. one guy I wouldn't mind seeing executed by the military.

The only acceptable place for him to be speaking to the press from is prison.

We knew it all along. America just wanted an excuse to go after oil.

At some point, if liberty is to have a fighting chance, American military personnel are going to have to experience an epiphany and decide that they're no longer going to fight on behalf of the bastards running the Regime.June 1, 2009.

When are they going to put this killer in prison where he belongs?
-
I wonder what the magic number of waterboardings was for him to come to that conclusion. And why were they reporting that there was a connection when they had no proof? Oh yeah, so they could invade in the first place.

So...he admitted to something the whole world already, and always knew....wow.
Are americans prepared to apologize to the Iraqi people and pay billions in reparations and immediately put down their guns and start rebuilding the country that they have destroyed?
Or will they continue to steal all the oil and murder civilians?
We both know the answer.

What is it about the National Press Club and Dick Cheney? First I hear he supports state sanctioned gay marriage and now this? Did someone put prozac in place of his normal diet of baby ears (inside joke)? Just like my previous post it is sad this man placed party politics above the real needs of his country.

Yes....in World War ii men fought men, and this is what a young soldier with high ideals expects to do. However in Baghdad American soldiers go house to house....break in the door and terrify whole families......being asked to terrorize children and women, and to kill them, is not acceptable to well brought up young men. However, most of the time the brainwashing and mind altering drugs do the job........but reality catches up with them eventually and they have to live with it for the rest of their lives Read the piece written by the young soldier who wrote the book KILL KILL KILL and you'll sree what these young men have to deal with. Considering these young men were sent into this war by three draft dodgers............Bush, Cheney and Rove.......... it is hard on these soldiers...especially as because by the time they get home there will be more world news available and the results of their handiwork will be walking around on stumps being interviewed by the world media. Coming home EVENTUALLY will be harder on these young men than on those from Vietnam because we live in the digital age and its harder to hide war crimes. God have mercy on the civilians in Iraq.

Even his handlers got fed up with the bull and clearly had a "talk" with him .... Interesting new strategy though . We must never forget that this person never ever means what he says . Lies, all lies , and manipulations . He and his friends betrayed the troops and the American public . Why is what he says even noticed ?
-
Thanks for confirming what EVERYONE already new. Now do not pass go, do not collect $200 and proceed directly to jail.
-
He should be concerned about spending his short remaining time twisting in the wind for treason.
-
Saddam Hussein obviously wasn't the brains of the operation.

How sad. He does this now after the fact because he knows no accountability will come to him from the bought and sold Congress we have on both sides because he is no longer in office. 'Impeachment is off the table.' That may be the case now, but INDICTMENT shouldn't be. And now he sits in smugness thinking he can get in front of a camera everyday and try to improve on his murderous legacy. Well, I may be a lady and not prone to using vulgarity, but in the words of Dick Cheney to Patrick Leahy on the Senate floor, 'Go fuck yourself,' Dick.
-
Amazing how he can still touch that raw nerve in us. We know he is the bogeyman incarnate, yet we still give that expected reaction when he jumps out from behind the corner. Boo!

So if hussein wasn't part of 9-11, than why the fuck are we still over there.... can anyone explain?
-
Lots of oil
-
REALLY? It only took him a few years to admit it. So finally they admit it when most of the world population already knew about their lies.
Why is Cheney even still speaking publicly? He is no longer relevant politically or socially. I consider myself a nonpartisan progressive but he just needs to suck it up and admit that his party lost. Shut up and wait for the next election.
I also think that him and the rest of the Bush administration needs to send out a formal apology to the families of military members who have been killed in Iraq, thinking that they are serving their country for the right reasons. They at least deserve that.

This pisses me off, even i knew this already. All those people that died over there and he has the nerve to just say it like it's no big deal? Furthermore, why in the hell are we still over there?! If he doesn't get thrown in jail for his actions my hope for this country will run out. I mean all those people that died for NOTHING!! Bin laden isn't even nowhere near there. Screw oil, what about the american people and the innocent civilians had to deal with?
sorry for the rant, but this pisses me off.
