Rep. Waxman documents 237 misleading statements by 5 Bush admin. officials

AMERICAblog: Dick Cheney, who outright lied to justify invading Iraq, now attacks Demcrats for calling him on his lies

Oh this is rich. Cheney is the newest attack dog Bush is sending out to chastize Dems for calling Bush and company liars. The only problem? Cheney himself is one of the liars who repeatedly and intentionally misled the country in order to justify the war.

or the one where...

3. Cheney claimed Saddam gave Al Qaeda bomb-making expertise and trained Al Qaeda terrorists how to use chemical and biological weapons? Saddam didn't.

He didn't, and Cheney knew the supposed evidence had already been debunked, yet repeated the charge on Tim Russert's show as a justification for the war.

With respect to 9/11, of course, we’ve had the story that’s been public out there. The Czechs alleged that Mohamed Atta, the lead attacker, met in Prague with a senior Iraqi intelligence official five months before the attack

4. Waxman is a treasure.
Many a day I wish Kerry had a partner like Waxman working with him on IranContra and BCCI.
