Arrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!
Cheney did NOT state anything about Saddam and al-Qaeda on the Limbaugh show and has never said Saddam was tied into 9/11. Whomever the "American Thinker" is they were duped by misleading headlines from the AP and didn't actually read the article nor the actual transcript.
What Cheney did state is that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was in Iraq before the start of the war. And it is well known by now that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi fled to Iraq, along with other members of al-Qaeda, after Afghanistan fell.
Man you said it. The Al Queda/Saddam/911 thing is like saying all Germans were Nazis.
Cheney sure as hell *did* state that Zarqawi was in Baghdad organizing al-Qaeda operations there before we arrived.
He could not have done that without tacit approval from Saddam.
