I watched this interchange, and was not offended.
First of all the old canard about ‘weapons of mass destruction’ was brought up. The fact is that Saddam H. did have WMD’s. He used chemical warfare against the Kurdish population in northern Iraq. That is not disputed. WMD is not synonymous with only nuclear weapons!
Secondly, Dick Cheney was able to answer all these questions very well, because he is knowledgeable and is not afraid to speak truth to power.
I agree. Looking at some of the posts here, I was starting to wonder if there was a SECOND Kelly interview with the Cheneys that I had missed - she was asking some tough questions but I never noticed her being harsh or disrespectful, and (unlike many other talking heads) she actually allowed the Cheney’s to fully answer questions, rather than just interrupting to save her taling points.

OK, did we find any chemical weapon stockpiles in Iraq ( the ones he used to kill over 5000 Kurds )?
