Cheney has been making the rounds flinging insults at Democrats at every opportunity.
Let's take a look at some of the most reckless statements directly from Mr. Cheney's mouth to you.
August 26, 2002: "Simply stated there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is NO DOUBT (my emphasis added) that he is amassing them to use against our allies, and against us."
Comment: Cheney was fully aware while he was making this statement that there was anything but "no doubt" regarding Saddam having WMD. Saddam had zip. No WMD of any sort have been found in Iraq. The prevailing American Intelligence reports all stated the same thing, no WMDs of any kind whatsoever. Yet Cheney went ahead and made this statement.
December 9, 2001: On 'Meet the Press' - "it was pretty well confirmed" that lead 9-11 hijacker Mohamed Atta had met with the head of Iraqi intelligence in Prague in April 2000.
Comment: The evidence of this meeting came from an uncorroborated allegation! If you went to Washington DC and made this statement that would have been good enough for the Vice President of the United States because that is the level of "evidence" he was pushing on a scared American public. This is how Cheney and Bush went about the work of linking the attacks of 9-11 to Saddam.
If you want to know why there is such a tremendous level of disdain for Cheney, you can start with these statements and many others made by his cadre of neo-conservatives that were intentionally designed to scare and mislead the American public into a disastrous, costly, and pointless war.
As a growing majority maintains, there is only one legitimate answer to Cheney, impeachment.
