All of Cheney's references to a "mushroom shaped cloud" suggesting that Saddam had nuclear WMD, for which suggestion there never was any factual basis. When the U.S. armies invaded Iraq the Iraqi nuclear weapons program was still under U.N. seal, just as the inspectors left it when Bush's invasion forced the U.N. to leave.
I am impressed that you actually responded as requested, instead of prevaricating, although I see only ONE so-called "falsehood" in your reply, not in the plural, as you stated originally. Nor do I buy what you list above as an "outright falsehood." I don't need Cheney or anyone else to tell me that Saddam would get and use nuclear weapons if he could, and I am not naive enough to think he wasn't trying. He did use chemical weapons against his own people. The U.N. has zero credibilty with me and probably millions of Americans.
You want an example of "outright falsehoods," plural?
"Republicans have cut the budget of (name of sacred cow social program) ..." when in fact Republicans have cut the rate of growth in funding for said program.
"I did not have sex with that woman .... Ever."
"My husband is the victim of a vast right-wing conspiracy."
Republians want to starve old people and poison our children.
I'm sure other FReepers can add to a list of examples of genuine "outright falsehoods" coming from politicians.
I'm proud of Cheney's drunken, womanizing shootout in Texas! And even prouder he mooned the NYT and NBC over it. He should bring that shotgun to a press conference or the senate when he must go there.
You might try breathing into a paper bag when this sort of thing happens. What it does is replace the CO2 you lose when you hyperventilate. Glad to help.
If Clinton said that Saddam had WMD in his arsenal and would eventually use them, and he's the greatest living president, then why is Cheney a liar for believing and saying the same thing?
