Cheney Links 9/11 to Iraq AGAIN! -Updated

Someone should reprogram Cheney with some updated information. They keep him alive yet fail to upload the Pentagon's own information that a review of more than 600,000 Iraqi documents captured during the 2003 US invasion found no evidence that Saddam’s regime had any operational links with the al Qaida terrorist network.

Yet here is what Cheney had to say while making a stealth visit to Iraq:

“This long-term struggle became urgent on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.That day we clearly saw that dangers can gather far from our own shores and find us right there at home...

So the United States made a decision: to hunt down the evil of terrorism and kill it where it grows, to hold the supporters of terror to account and to confront regimes that harbor terrorists and threaten the peace... Understanding all the dangers of this new era, we have no intention of abandoning our friends or allowing this country of 170,000 square miles to become a staging area for further attacks against Americans.”

What a douchebag. I can't wait until he disappears.

UPDATE (3/20/08 10:45am): I can physically feel my blood prssure rise when I see this motherfucker's smirking face. DICK Cheney had this to say while being inteview on Good Morning America:

Raddatz: Two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting, and they’re looking at the value gain versus the cost in American lives, certainly, and Iraqi lives.

Cheney: So? [sinister smirk]

Raddatz: So — you don’t care what the American people think?

Cheney: No, I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. Think about what would have happened if Abraham Lincoln had paid attention to polls, if they had had polls during the Civil War. He never would have succeeded if he hadn’t had a clear objective, a vision for where he wanted to go, and he was willing to withstand the slings and arrows of the political wars in order to get there. And this President has been very courageous, very consistent, very determined to continue down the course we were on and to achieve our objective.

The comparison to Abraham Lincoln is shockingly laughable. And I love this line in his comparison: "[Lincoln] never would have succeeded if he hadn’t had a clear objective, a vision for where he wanted to go..." while laying it completely on Bush's lap, as if he had nothing to do with it. And "fluctuations in public opinion polls"? Are you fucking kidding?! The only flucuation I see in the Bush approval rating is from 34% to a new low 31%. Wow, that's quite a leap.

Guess what, nitwit? Having a clear objective is exactly what everyone's beeen trying to tell you to have the whole fucking time. You have no clear objective. Of course, if your clear objective was for you to and your cronies to treasonously profit from war, sap the Federal Treasury dry, force bank collapses, cause home forclosures by the millions, quadruple the price of oil, make the U.S. less safe and cause the rest of the world to hate and distrust us, then "Mission Accomplished," asshole.

The smirk bothers me most of all, because it shows that he really doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks, doesn't care about anything and considers us all gnats that he just flicks away with his speared tail. His smirk gives me the feeling that he knows he's getting away with murder - literally - and knows we're not gonna do a damned thing about it. Besides, he couldn't care less about anything other than lining his pockets. He'd sell his family to the Saudis if he could get a decent profit from it. He is truly an evil, sociopathic bastard. The world will be a much better place once Dick Cheney is not only out of office, but pushing daisies.

You can watch the video on C & L if you can stomach it.
