Hussein/Al-Qaeda ties Discounted AGAIN, Cheney still claims otherwise

Story.

Captured Iraqi documents and intelligence interrogations of Saddam Hussein and two former aides "all confirmed" that Hussein's regime was not directly cooperating with al-Qaeda before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, according to a declassified Defense Department report released yesterday. The declassified version of the report, by acting Inspector General Thomas F. Gimble, also contains new details about the intelligence community's prewar consensus that the Iraqi government and al-Qaeda figures had only limited contacts, and about its judgments that reports of deeper links were based on dubious or unconfirmed information. The report had been released in summary form in February. The report's release came on the same day that Vice President Cheney, appearing on Rush Limbaugh's radio program, repeated his allegation that al-Qaeda was operating inside Iraq "before we ever launched" the war, under the direction of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the terrorist killed last June.

If you keep saying something enough times, despite all evidence to the contrary, does it make it true?

Cheney is still trying to hold loyal to all those sheeple, older voters that vote more on their ideas of political history as they remember it, instead of how it actually happened and have become uninformed by and large in the information age, and plague C-Span everyday in minority.

They call C-Span and complain about liberals, democrats, the supposed "axis of evil" and totally avoid any actual debate on any current or past situations..... just a bunch more claptrap about how we should respect the position not the man, and blindly support or fascist minded president.

I am absolutely sick of ignorant, patriotic dunderheads who can't connect even the most obvious, blatant dots..........

Cheney and Bush are masters of pandering to the ignorant, after all, that is where they draw most of their support from.

I agree, and I've found it difficult to debate with people who think Rebublicans cannot spread disinformation.
