Cheney admits NO LINK between Saddam and 9/11...hey Dick aren't you a little late

Some people think going to war is serious...and you don't do it lightly.

Some people obviously think its okay to go to war for any damn reason you like...and tell the country anything you can do get away with it.

Dick Cheney obviously falls into the latter group. Here it is 2009....and Cheney acknowledges no link between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein/Iraq.

Oh cripes...you are only about 6 years late on this one, DICK, 4,000+ American deaths, 10,000's of thousands of injuries, $100's of billions of dollars, let alone probably 100,000's of thousands of Iraqi deaths.

Actually it is you who is a little late.

Cheney, Bush, nor anyone else in that administration ever said there was a link.

 

lol.... good one sam....

it's ok Mia, I know you were on Mars when he said it.

 

There is a key difference that both of you seem to miss. Its easy, it happens.

The difference is that you all seem to interpret a statement of a link between Al Queda and Iraq as meaning a link between Iraq and 9/11.

Again, no one in the Bush admin, Cheney included ever said there was a link between Saddam, Iraq and 9/11.

I fail to see that anywhere in that article you posted.

FROM THE OP:

From that article:

"no link between Al Queda and Iraq"

That you all fail to see the difference even some 8 years later really concerns me.

 

by linking Iraq to Al-Qaeda and already Al-Qaeda is linked to 9/11 then there will be a link established between Iraq and 9/11..

though, you are right about the difference between a link between Al-Qaeda and Iraq, and a link between Iraq and 9/11 but still it is there in the article.. from Cheney,

here it is:

later in same article ..

either ways, the conclusion of the article.. there is no links between Iraq and 9/11 we agree on this .. and there is no link between Iraq and Al-Qaeda.

so whether this or that the previous administration lied, to justify the war on Iraq.

 

NONSENSE. Dick Cheney made a link between 9/11 and Iraq on MANY occasions in the build up to the Iraq war and in the years after.

And people like you echoed those claims.

And now that even the dark lord Cheney himself admits that it was lies you pretend like it never happened. This biz is so Orwellian it's hard to believe it.

 

Good luck finding just one.

 

This is the same as you getting jail time, cause your son/daughter killed somebody...

Other than this false logic - you are right Politicians lie (or just say only the truths you wanna hear, not all of them). This is their job and if they made it to a top position - they are good at it. Saying something that can be understood differently by different people is just part of the game.

Anyway, I wouldn't bother myself with some old conspiracy theory when there are a lot of new ones already

 

ok, let's see, Al-Qaeda been linked to 9/11
then Iraq been linked to Al-Qaeda..

the result.............

70% of Americans believe the Iraqi leader was personally involved in the attacks

enough to get people's approval for a new war.

 

Because someone in the MSM said it was, so you all now believe it. Its called revisionist history, and you libs are really masters at it.

The oddest thing about this is that even the ones that revise history begin to believe their revisions over time.

Just because you say so, does not make it so.

 

Oh wow! This is rich! A neo-con who is denying that Dick Cheney ever said there was a link between the Iraq War & 9/11 is accusing other people of "revisionist history." Your double speak is double plus good!

I don't know who you are trying to fool at this point. No one is buying this crap anymore. Except for you maybe? Are you just trying to convince yourself now?

 

Not what I said... You need to calm down and re-read. You're so used to the revisionist style you have a hard time seeing things as they are.

See what I mean.

 

You forget the dozen or so other reasons that we went into Iraq. You know, those resolutions (I forgot the exact number, at least 8, I believe closer to 16 though) that said if you don't comply we will invade. Finally someone had the balls to enforce the UN resolutions.

 

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441. That and only that is the reason we invaded.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_1441

Thing is, most of the guys here that keep bitching about this were in diapers when this resolution was introduced.

 

As long as Dick Cheney is around running his mouth and reminding everyone of the crimes of 2001-2009 the bar for President Obama will be pretty low. All he has to do is not be a war criminal at this point to better the previous administration. I think that's part of the reason his approval rating remains so high.

Pure nonsense. The American people NEVER would have got behind a war for this reason. There's been a whole host of "reasons" spewed out by neo-con apologists since the original reasons have been proven to be BS (WMD + Iraq 9/11 connection.) The most specious one is how it was some kind of rescue of the Iraqi people from Saddam. That one is really rich. Meanwhile far more Iraqi citizens were killed in the US attack of Iraq than were ever killed by Saddam. Meanwhile there are horrible acts of genocide going on all around the world that we do nothing about.

These other reasons are nothing but after the fact rationalizations. If they had been the original reasoning then they never would have been able to convinced the majority of the American people that the Iraq war was a good idea. And they really were able to convince a lot of pretty usually reasonable people that it was a good idea. They never would have been able to do that with this other BS.

BTW - I'm proud to say they never tricked me - I knew the Iraq war was BS from day 1.

 

It's like the WMD's thing. The way the invasion was covered was by the media. The media focused on the sexy things. Links to Al Queda, WMD's. Failing to report on most of the other reasons that were given out by the administration. However, people who listen and believe, and buy hook line and sinker, everything the jaded and biased media reports are ignorant and really need some sort of an education.

 

What is with all this hate from you lately. Why are you so angry? Get a grip man. It's an internet forum. If you continue to take this stuff this seriously you are gonna burn out.

BTW, the approval rating that is so high is at 33% currently. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...ministration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll

 

I think you might out of context.
You are talking about US people, the same that salute their flag every morning at school, the same that believe in their army, the same that will follow their people even if they jump in the river...
If the President said ABC after a problem touching every american soul, everyone will think that ABC is good.
Terrorism is a global war, all over the planet, against all democratic areas. Not only the USA, but Madrid or London as well...
It is a trivial common sense to believe that Irak has link to Al-Quaeda. Belgium as well, and England, and Indonesia, etc....have their own link with Al-Quaeda
It is a trivial common sense to believe that Ben Laden has been killed in the early days of the war but not telling it is the oil on the fire...
You need to understand that the US people have a way of life that might annoy others, like islamics annoy others countries.
Islamics do not disturb me when they are living in their own country. They kill non Allah believers? I don't care, it's not my concern. They are there and I'm here and have no will to move there.
Same way is the US in Irak, disturbing the autochtones...
While you can see religous extremists in the Arab world, you can see religous extremists in the heart of the US, where not beleiving in God results having your home in fire.
Let's keep everyone at their place, without annoying the neighbor and we'll reach peace...
Europe is more democratic and free than the USA at this time, and having the muslims sneaking into Europe without Europeans even seeing that fact will results by a major problem for non european muslims. See Aznar on Google for that matter.

 

Specific comments, innuendo, constant interviews, etc. from Cheney...all making the case that there was a connection/link/ between Iraq and 9/11. (some of these were made AFTER other people in the admnistration, including Bush, said we had no evidence of the claims Cheney kept making
