Cheney: WMD or not, Iraq invasion was correct
Vice president says 'we would do exactly the same thing' regardless of intel
President Bush would have ordered an invasion of Iraq even if the CIA had told him that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday.
In the build-up to the U.S. invasion in 2003, Bush and other administration leaders argued that Saddam should be removed from power because he had stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and was actively seeking to build a nuclear weapon.
Subsequent investigations concluded that he did not have such weapons, and in an appearance on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' Cheney acknowledged that, 'clearly, the intelligence that said he did was wrong.'
How many believe Congress would have authorized President Bush to invade, if the Bush Administration had stopped long enough to ferret out the truth of the intelligence?

Are there any Republicans that would like to email Cheney, to let him know they've found stockpiles of weapons the Bush Administration appears to be unaware of?
