“There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But he still says so. There was no link between Saddam Hussein and al Qaida. But he still says so. And thus, gripping firmly these figments of his own imagination, Mr. Cheney lives on, in defiance, and spreads - around him and before him - darkness, like some contagion of fear. They are never wrong, and they never regret - admirable in a French torch singer, cataclysmic in an American leader.” StillsImaginationLeaderDarknessRegretWeaponsMassDestructionIraqSpreadSingersAlsLinksSaddamHusseinDefianceAdmirableWeapons Of Mass DestructionMass DestructionTorchesGrippingContagionNever RegretFigments Author:Keith Olbermann

“Saddam Hussein had a lengthy history of reckless and sudden aggression. He cultivated ties to terror -- hosting the Abu Nidal organization, supporting terrorists, and making payments to the families of suicide bombers. He also had an established relationship with Al Qaida -- providing training to Al Qaida members in areas of poisons, gases and conventional bombs. He built, possessed, and used weapons of mass destruction.” UsedMembersWeaponsMassTrainingBuiltAreasDestructionOrganizationSuicideTerrorTerroristTiesPoisonBombsAlsPossessedProvidingAggressionConventionalSaddamHusseinPaymentRecklessWeapons Of Mass DestructionMass DestructionBombersLengthySuicide Bombers Author:Dick Cheney
