Dick Cheney, History

~

Here he goes again, rewriting history. In The Ledger on March 16, in an article, by Douglass K. Daniel of The Associated Press, former Vice President Dick Cheney is quoted as saying "There is no prospect" that Iraq will return to producing weapons of mass destruction or supporting terrorists. I would like to remind him that since former President George W. Bush sent U.S. armed forces to invade Iraq on March 19, 2003, and up to the present, no weapons of mass destruction have ever been found.

The great white hunter and expert marksman is further quoted as saying that "the U.S. led invasion has led to the defeat of al-Qaida in Iraq." It is my understanding that Saddam Hussein did not have a friendly relationship with al-Qaida and did not permit their presence in his country, so, prior to the invasion there was no al-Qaida in Iraq.

And, if as he says that Iraq no longer supports terrorists and al-Qaida has been defeated in Iraq, I would ask, who then is maiming and killing the brave young American men and women that W. has sent to that country?
