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

Again, I see nothing here to support these outlandish claims that the Bush admin and Cheney linked Saddam/Iraq to 9/11.

All I saw was this:

"After Cheney implied in a television interview in September that Iraq was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, Bush was forced to acknowledge days later that the administration "had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved" in Sept. 11."

And the key word there is "implied". Anyone could derive just about anything they want out of any statement. Does not mean it was true.

Again, we've been over this one for years. No one in the Bush admin, neither Bush nor Cheney either every said that Iraq and or Saddam was responsible for 9/11. It just did not happen.

Was there a relationship with The Alquackas? Perhaps. Its pretty well known that many terrorist groups took up refuge in Iraq. Its also well known that Saddam, more often than not preferred to be the one doing the terrorizing.

Why don't you guys just give up. Everything you post does nothing but make you look foolish.

 

I gues people forget that the VP doesn't really have any power. all he really does is maintain order during Senate stuff. He is not in the military chain of command and therefor cannot give any orders.

 

Must be pretty sad and lonely going through life fixated on such hogwash... Get a hobby or something.

 

was this a part of your prescribed therapy? if so, I m sorry to tell you, it did not work.

 

lol you let the neocons take the argument across 2 pages over nuance.

We all know what this means. The nation knew as well hence both Cheney and Bush's horrible approval ratings when they left office and the Republicans being voted out of office in droves.

In the end who cares what Cheney says? The 9/11 commission found that there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein had assisted al-Qaeda in preparing or executing the 9/11 attacks.

So that being the case let's recap...... There were no WMD and there was no evidence that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11 or that he was even helping Al-Queda. We went to war for nothing.

 

Not true. There was oil.

 

Yeah, thats why oil is so expensive, thus, gas prices are so expensive .

And George, your right. Iraq didn't have anythin to do with it. It was an elaborate plot by the US Government.

 

That made absolutely no sense. Which comes as no surprise of course.

 

this may be a surprise for you: you are very thick Mia.

 

That's what the ladies tell me.

 

online ladies?

 

I never personally thought we went to Iraq due to the government's belief in Saddam being responsible in any way for 9-11, did you? Why?

I thought we went to war with Iraq due to:

1) Not complying with sanctions put in place after he attacked Kuwait
2) Intelligence reports of WMDs that appear to have never existed
3) Saddam's overall policies of torturing and killing his own people
4) Saddam's involvement with, and financial support to, various terrorist organizations and individuals

I'm not saying I agree with going or not, but I believe these were the disclosed reasons to going to war, not that they were directly tied to 9-11.

 

Reseg, those are reasons people forget about. They only focus on what they want to focus on, completely forgetting about all the other reasons (the main ones).

 

not that Iraqi regime was a good one, a change was needed there but not to replace it by a worse one,

those are more lies, there were no wmd's, torturing? Abu Ghraib! and Guantanamo show that U.S. is the last to speak about human rights,

as if Americans care about Muslims' human rights anyway.

what else? UN?

Saddam agrees to comply with U.N.

involvement with terrorists? this will depend on from which angle you look at it?

it's all irrelevant, because...

Lets Not Forget: Bush Planned Iraq 'Regime Change' Before Becoming President

 

No, I was referring to yours.

 

Of course Cheney made the case that Iraq was tied to 9/11. Otherwise...why in the world...would he currently acknowledge that there was no tie. Who in the world was otherwise making those claims. Cheney and Wolfewitz, his little puppy dog and others made the claim.

The administration worked to build a case to go to war against Iraq. They used a lot of reasons. They threw cr@p against the wall to see what might stick.

They changed the specifics from a fight against al queda, who was responsible for attacking the US to a "war on terrorism". That enabled the Bush administration to go to war against Saddam.

Here Cheney acknowledges that the claims were made....and who...says he didn't Mia...you know...the guy who thinks anyone who is an elected democrat should kill him/herself.

Did the administration use this reasoning alone for going to war in Iraq? Of course not. But it was part of the whole pitch to go to war with Iraq.

But clearly...it was the Bush administration that was putting this stuff out in the first place. Once they put it out....people started questioning it.

The claims were never substantiated. That didn't stop the Bush administration from continuing to claim/insinuate/bring up...that there was a connection between Al queda/9/11 and Iraq.

Now Cheney acknowledges that there was no connection....and the Bush admnistration defender (Mia) claims they never said this.

How stupid. What was Cheney doing by acknowledging that stuff he once said..proved to be not so?

But Mia continues to claim that they never said this stuff.

How stupid?

 

No he did not.

 

Wait so is that an admission that 9/11 and the emotion stirred from it was a good cover to go to war over oil?

 

so if oil prices are expensive now it means it was not for oil?

were Americans expecting cheap oil prices after war, and now got disappointed because it is not? lol was this the case?

well don't be too sad, Haliburton is still an American, isn't it? and they got rich! sorry, it must hurt cos they do not care about you, but.. try to find a job there, on an oil ship or something, you may get free oil.
