He's back....

Dick Cheney, that is. Out of his hole to trash the Democrats - agian. This is a bit of what he was up to today:

Vice President Dick Cheney added his voice on Wednesday to the chorus of Republican criticism of Democrats who have accused the Bush administration of manipulating intelligence on Iraq, calling it "one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city."

Newsday

The only problem is, the most dishonest and reprehensible person out there IS Dick Cheney. This is from a report just out by Rep. Henry Waxman:

Vice President Cheney made 51 misleading statements about the threat posed by Iraq in 25 separate public statements or appearances.

Of the 51 misleading statements by Vice President Cheney, 1 claimed that Iraq posed an urgent threat; 22 exaggerated Iraq’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons; 7 overstated Iraq’s chemical or biological weapons capacity; and 21 misrepresented Iraq’s links to al Qaeda.

Some of the misleading statements made by Vice President Cheney included the following:

• [W]e do know, with absolute certainty, that he is using his procurement

system to acquire the equipment he needs in order to enrich uranium to

build a nuclear weapon.”114

• Saddam Hussein “had an established relationship with al Qaeda.”115

• “[W]e believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons.”116

This man is exhibit A of everything that is wrong with this administration.
