Liz Cheney says her dad never made the Saddam-9/11 connection. You be the judge.

The Cheney-Edwards 2004 Vice-Presidential debate:

The Cheneys appear to be playing games with rhetoric here. We’re not saying Saddam had any connection with 9/11! We’re just saying he had connections with Al-Qaeda, who were behind 9/11.

Regardless, in 2007, former Director of Central Intelligence, George Tenet said on 60 Minutes that ”We could never verify that there was any Iraqi authority, direction and control, complicity with al-Qaeda for 9/11 or any operational act against America, period.”

That’s any Iraqi authority, Dick and Liz.

    Yeah, seems like the Cheneys are backpeddling at warp speed to avoid culpability. Dick must think the U.S. is still drugged by Bushian terrorist propaganda. Well, we’ve graduated on to subprime-induced meltdown. It’s gonna take more that a stern face and the mention of Al-Qaeda to inspire fear these days. I can’t imagine there not being piles of contradictory material over an eight year time frame to refute his current set of lies. Whether or not the media draws that sword is another matter.

    On a side note, if you were to shave Liz Cheney’s head and give her specs, you’d have Dick twenty-five years younger….Yick.

    About Me

    I co-host Citizen Radio, the alternative political radio show. I am a contributing reporter to Huffington Post, Alternet.org, and The Nation.

    My essay "Youth Surviving Subprime" appears in The Nation's new book, Meltdown: How Greed and Corruption Shattered Our Financial System and How We Can Recover beside esssays by Ralph Nader, Joseph Stiglitz, Barbara Ehrenreich, and Naomi Klein, who I'm told are all important people.

    G. Gordon Liddy once told me my writing makes him want to vomit, which is the greatest compliment I've ever been paid ever.

    • Citizen Radio

      I co-host the biweekly political-comedy show, Citizen Radio. It’s like CNN, but with more swearing. Citizen Radio covers the stories that the mainstream, corporate media ignores. Past guests include: Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, Matt Taibbi, Jeremy Scahill, Ralph Nader, Tariq Ali,  Janeane Garofalo, Melissa Harris-Lacewell, and more…
