Dick Cheney Officially Goes Over The Edge...
Apparently, the UN's Oil-For-Food program was enough of a shambles to warrant the loss of close to 1100 US soldiers and about $200 billion of our tax dollars.
Vice President Dick Cheney asserted on Thursday that a finding by the chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq that Saddam Hussein's government produced no weapons of mass destruction after 1991 justifies rather than undermines President Bush's decision to go to war.
"The headlines all say no weapons of mass destruction stockpiled in Baghdad. We already knew that," Cheney said.
He said other parts of the report were "more intriguing."
The definitive proof that our sole reason for invading Iraq has turned out to be complete crap is just not that intriguing to our Vice President.
Read the rest, and try not to get any puke on your keyboard...
UPDATE: David Kay, the former head of the Iraqi Survey Group who selected by President Bush to find WMD in Iraq is as flustered as I am with the Administration reaction to the group's final report:
Kay told NBC television: "All I can say is 'denial' is not just a river in Egypt."
"The report is scary enough without misrepresenting what it says," he added.
Iraq "was not an imminent and growing threat because of its own weapons of mass destruction," he added.
