Cheney's Pants 'Probably' on Fire

In a terse, one-sentence rebuke, the bipartisan 9/11 Commission yesterday embarrassed Vice President Dick Cheney, debunking his claims of having more evidence of a purported Saddam-al Qaeda link. Last month, after the Commission reported "no credible evidence" of a collaborative relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda, Cheney reiterated his claim of having "overwhelming evidence" of a connection, then attacked the commission and said he "probably" had more information than they did. But yesterday, the Commission said "it had access to the same information the vice president has seen regarding contacts between Al Qaeda and Iraq prior to the 9/11 attacks" and that its "position is firm, unchanged and committed to our previous finding: We have not discovered collaboration-cooperation between al-Qaeda and Iraq in general terrorist activities across the world, against the United States." (As John Stewart recently joked about Cheney's dishonesty, "Mr. Vice President, it's my duty to inform you that your pants are on fire.") With a majority of Americans now believing the Iraq war was a mistake, the Commission's declaration further undermines the "central justification the Bush administration gave for going to war with Iraq."

4. I am sure this means coverage of another Cheney speech

citing connections sometime tomorrow.

The more they discount what he says, the louder he says it.

And the republicans call Kerry/Edwards "out of touch"? :shrug:
