LOL!
A year ago, on "Meet the Press," Cheney described Iraq as part of "the heart of the base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11."
Plus, of course, Cheney has been the only man even in Bush's War Cabinet who has still stubbornly kept harping on the alleged 'Prague connection', long after it was debunked:
On Dec. 9, 2001, Cheney said on NBC's "Meet The Press" that "it's been pretty well confirmed that [Atta] did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the attack."
On March 24, 2002, Cheney again told NBC, "We discovered ... the allegation that one of the lead hijackers, Mohamed Atta, had, in fact, met with Iraqi intelligence in Prague."
On Sept. 8, 2002, Cheney, again on "Meet the Press," said that Atta "did apparently travel to Prague. ... We have reporting that places him in Prague with a senior Iraqi intelligence officer a few months before the attacks on the World Trade Center."
Mind you, if you're looking for things Edwards and Cheney
did spin, I synthesized
a summary of items from, yes, both MSNBC and Fox News fact-check reports on the debate ...
