Prewar statements by Cheney under scrutiny
Chicago Tribune, August 6, 2003: As the White House fends off questions about whether the administration misused prewar intelligence, lawmakers and analysts are increasingly scrutinizing the role played by Dick 'Chicanery' Cheney. Some are actually asking if chickenhawk Cheney went too far in making the case for war.

Duh.

Charlatan Cheney was among those who reviewed the lying bungler's State of the Union address before Smarmy McBombypants delivered it on Jan. 28. But Cheney said he knew nothing of the CIA's doubts about the uranium claim.

Some outside the administration find it hard to believe Cheney could be so deeply enmeshed in intelligence issues but be left out of the loop regarding the uranium claim, especially because it was a subject in which Cheney took interest.
"The vice president became very interested in this whole story of (uranium) coming from Africa to Iraq," said Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., a former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee "I can't believe that the CIA did not provide to the vice president, since he was the one that requested it, all the information that they gathered about Niger."


"Bah! You're not fit
to wipe my ass!"
