Liz Cheney Still Can't Tell the Truth

Against the grain of the Republican Fantasy World, Big Dick Cheney announced last week that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. That's a startling admission for a War Cheerleader like Cheney. Those of us in the reality-based community have known for quite some time there was never a connection, it was; however, the first time the Republican Fantasy World had ever been targeted with such talk. But his daughter Liz (not the gay one) had to take it a step further Thursday and reassure the Republican Fantasy World despite her father's admission, he never in the first place said there was a connection. Aaaahhh..that's how Fantasy World inhabitants reckon the two versions of our Blessed War in Iraq, I see.


Too bad that's a lie.

Here's Cheney in 2003 making all kinds of assertions to Tim Russert about a connection between Iraq and 9/11.

I can remember you asking me this question just a few days after the original attack. At the time I said no, we didn't have any evidence of that. Subsequent to that, we've learned a couple of things. We learned more and more that there was a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda that stretched back through most of the decade of the '90s, that it involved training, for example, on BW and CW, that al-Qaeda sent personnel to Baghdad to get trained on the systems that are involved. The Iraqis providing bomb-making expertise and advice to the al-Qaeda organization.

Here's Cheney once again making the claim that there were connections between Iraq and 9/11. And here's a ton of statements by both Bush and Cheney linking the attacks of 9/11 with Iraq.

Why do we have to keep going over this? Iraq was a war of choice launched by a bunch of madmen who did nothing but spread lies and fear to an entire nation. They wanted this war and now they want no responsibility for it. They are a sick lot right to their core.
