Cheney Admits Iraq Had Nothing To Do With 9/11

Big Dick Cheney, the man with five deferments from combat during Vietnam, admitted today that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 but that invading Iraq in 2003 was still the right thing to do because Iraq had ties to other terrorism.

"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.

A co-conspirator in the invasion, Cheney had not the courage to go and fight when his country drafted him five different times, but had no qualms about ordering an invasion of a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11 for other people to go fight. Cheney should have been this forthcoming in 2003 because the intelligence was surely there then too.

Other ties to terrorism is hardly reason for invasion. There is no country on the face of this planet with greater ties to terrorism than Saudi Arabia. It's home to 15 of the 19 hijackers and home to bin Laden, the person actually responsible for the 9/11 attacks. So why didn't we invade Saudia Arabia Mr. Cheney? Seriously, according to your revisionist history, ties to terrorism warrants invasion. There are no greater ties than the Saudis.
