From the article:

... "Iraq is dangerous, and it's dangerous because terrorists want us to leave, and we're not leaving," he said.

A double whammy in one thread. These articles are *everywhere* :evilgrin:

<clips>

Dick Cheney is the most powerful vice president of modern times -- more powerful than the seasoned Gore under the callow Clinton or the experienced Poppa Bush under the inexperienced Reagan. Cheney, in fact, is sometimes referred to as George W. Bush's brain or, to be even more mocking, his ventriloquist. It would be fitting, then, for this most powerful of all vice presidents to be the first in American history to be censured. He has it coming.

It won't happen, of course. But Cheney ought to be made to account for his repeated exaggerations of the Iraqi threat. I am referring specifically to his dire warning that Saddam Hussein's Iraq was working on a menacing nuclear weapons program and the United States had to do something about it. We know now that such a program did not exist.

We know it because it cannot be found. We know it because it is impossible to hide such a program because, among other things, traces of it can be detected in the air and in the water. We know it because the experts -- Americans and others -- have now said so. They have told my Washington Post colleague Barton Gellman that Iraq, in his words, had "no active program to build a weapon, produce its key materials or obtain the technology . . . needed for either." That, inconveniently, is what U.N. weapons inspectors maintained all along.

But those inspectors were not only dismissed by Cheney as Hussein's useful idiots, they were actually bullied by him. Former assistant secretary of state James P. Rubin wrote in Foreign Affairs that when Cheney met with Hans Blix and Mohamed ElBaradei, the two most prominent U.N. inspectors, he bluntly told them that if the Bush administration found fault with their judgment, "we will not hesitate to discredit you." It now appears that it's Cheney who's been discredited.

13. said it before....

I'll say it again. Notice how Bush's toadies continue to back off original claims. First it was huge stockpiles of chemical weapons and nuclear bombs. Then it was 'programs', now Condi Cane says he merely had 'ambitions'. Speaking of Hans Blix, I remember 'Elvis' Limbaugh ridiculing everything about the guy. "He doesn't want to find any weapons", and "Did you see the stupid little cars they were driving?" he would remark and then break into his Barney Rubble laugh. I've even heard other Right-Wing trash insinuate that he's a homosexual. Oooh, the neocons don't like you. Therefore, you must be a homosexual. And now that Bush has his 'experts' in Iraq, we're basically in the same place as we were when Blix was there. Oh, except that 13,000 Iraqis and 350 American soldiers are dead with no end in sight, the entire Middle East hates us just a little more, FOB (friends of Bush) are a lot richer, and American taxpayers are a lot poorer. Arrrrggghhhh!

6. Well, I wasn't misled, nor were very many others, ...

despite all of Dubya's efforts to midlead us. Unfortunately, the polls show that the vast majority of Americans were in fact misled. But they're starting to wise up now.

7. George Bush: Homegrown Terrorist

TRAITOR!

[gratuitous]

8. Would you just let us blast the bejesus out of Iraq?

Cripes! You act like it's going to affect you personally if a bunch of ragheads in the middle of desert get their tickets punched. Look, you say that Iraq isn't a threat, I say it is. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to, you know? Let me just blow hell out of the country, and when the rubble stops bouncing, then we'll see who was right and who was wrong, okay?

Sheesh! It's like being president doesn't entitle me to do anything!

9. And the fact that our heads are now 100 feet under quicksand just

goes to show that he led us correctly.

Right, Georgie?

10. just call him

11. Bush sez...

...his people didn't put up the banner on the U.S.S. Abe Lincoln, but he didn't say they didn't design, create, ship, then direct the hanging of the banner.

This is the kind of parsing of words they've hidden behind in the past so they can say they didn't lie. It's a shame there was no followup question here...probably not in the script provided to W before the P.C.
