Thanks for this. I noticed in the featured “grilling” of Dick Cheney by Megyn Kelly on Fox News that when she says he “got it wrong about Saddam having WMDs” Cheney doesn’t correct her and say that in fact Saddam did have WMDs. Why not?

First off, I would say professional diplomacy. But more importantly, Cheney is still obligated by law and his prior position as VP to maintain silence on issues that have not been fully declassified by the govt.

As an example, the above link to a CNN article in 2008 where the Pentagon had revealed that in 2005 Canada had purchased Iraq's uranium. I'm sure there's a reason why the US never before mentioned that the uranium had been located, it certainly could have put a partial end to the libtards claims that Hussein never had any uranium and it would immediately put an end to Jack Wilson's bogus claim that Hussein never purchased the uranium from Niger......

There is so much VP Cheney knows but unfortunately he's limited to what he can say and how he can say it.......

Regardles of what anyone else thinks, I felt VP Cheney handled the question very well and politely put Mrs. Kelly in her place without being confrontative or insulting....that is an art form.
