Seems pretty clear to me CarolC that time, after time, after time, when pressed to state in some way shape or form that Iraq had something to do with 911 Cheney keeps saying no they didn't. Olbermann then goes off and neatly edits the interview to give the opposite impression - seems pretty clear to me.
As is this media spin and complete misrepresentation:
" On Hardball the night after the vice presidential debate, Matthews informed his viewers: "The Republican National Committee today criticized me for saying on the Today show this morning that the taped remarks we showed last night of the Vice President's statement on Meet the Press established the fact that in no uncertain terms that the Vice President has asserted that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11. The RNC said we were being selective and cited this clip from the same Meet the Press."
OK then CarolC let's take a look at how Cheney said "in no uncertain terms" that Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11 shall we:
Matthews had cited Cheney's reference to how the Iraq war hit at "the geographic base of the terrorists who've had us under assault now for many years but most especially on 9/11," as proof that Cheney was blaming Iraq for 9/11. In the fuller clip from the 2003 interview, however, Russert asked Cheney if "the resistance in Iraq is coming from those who were responsible for 9/11?" Cheney rejected the notion: "Oh I wouldn't, I was careful not to say that."
Nonetheless, the MRC's Geoff Dickens observed, Matthews refused to back down, going only so far as to put it in the hands of the audience: "I'll leave it to you, the viewer to decide on that one."
Well if asked by Mr Matthews I say that from what was actually said, the Vice President most assuredly stated that Iraq and Saddam Hussein had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. Which oddly enough CarolC accords with what he said five days after the attacks on 11th September 2001.
