Arne,

It really is quite simple on the 8th September 2002, Vice-President Dick Cheney was asked if he still believed that Saddam/Iraq had nothing to do with the Al-Qaeda attacks of 11th September 2001. On the 8th September 2002, he stated that he could not say that there was any link.

As I have said and will keep on saying it you can keep on trying to muddy the waters as much as you like, you cannot alter what the Vice-President said.

You omit to highlight:
- "reporting that suggests" - I know Arne would take that as rock solid fact as he believes everything that is reported as long as it emanates from one of his approved media outlets. But to me Arne that indicates that that the V-P certainly hadn't bought it, thereby reinforcing his earlier comment on it not being possible to say that any link existed between Iraq and 911.

- "The debates about, you know, was he there or wasn't he there" - What debate do you think he is talking about Arne? Clearly he is not trying to push the line that there was a meeting and that there was a link between iraq and 911. In fact he is pouring cold water on the idea all through the interview.

You also omit to mention that the Vice-President clearly stated that all those reports were UNCONFIRMED.
