The Cheney "Meet the Press" was from 8 Sept 2002 (not 18 Sept).

And the actual quote--Teribus' pride and joy-- by Cheney is: "Well, I want to be very careful about how I say this. I'm not here today to make a specific allegation that Iraq was somehow responsible for 9-11. I can't say that."

However, in the very next paragraph, Cheney goes on to detail several possible connections between Saddam and 9-11.

For some inexplicable reason, Teribus has never been quite as enthusiastic about that part of Cheney's answer. Can't understand why.
