In an interview with CBS "Face the Nation" on Sunday morning, Cheney continued to offer a stout defense of the Bush legacy in Iraq, even though like other administration officials he conceded problems with WMD intelligence.Funny, I remember Hans Blix and all the weapons inspectors saying there was no WMD.
"The original intelligence was wrong, no question about it," Cheney said on the show. "But there were parts of it that were right. It wasn't 100 percent wrong. It was correct in saying he had the technology. It was correct in saying he still had the people who knew how to build weapons of mass destruction. I think it was also correct in the assessment that once sanctions came off, he would go back to doing what he had been doing before."
"Where it was wrong was said he had stockpiles, and he clearly didn't," Cheney said. "So the intelligence was flawed."
Once you stop looking at Iraq as a place that had WMD and we just have not found them, and instead, look at it as a country that NEVER had them and Bush Inc made it all up, you see the war for what it is.
