When given the opportunity in the Fox interview why didn’t Dick Cheney speak of these findings.
That’s what I don’t get. WTH?
Because the US wanted to bomb WMD facilities in Syria and Iran. They would not have been able to do that if the world discovered that bombing the facilities results in the WMD still being there and it makes them impossible to safely move and discard. Not to mention it will kill the people living nearby.
Because then he'd have to explain why they knew about these facilities on his watch and didn't:
a.)Announce to the world they'd found the WMDs they'd gone to war to stop when they were getting hammered in the media for finding nothing.
b.)Explain why they didn't do anything about them.
There was at the time a huge word war about what exactly WMDs were. Because these existed before the Gulf War it was determined (likely by liberals) that this stockpile/facility did not count. Republicans have always had a weakness for going along with liberals and their word games so even though WMDs were absolutely found in Iraq, they didn’t count so the claim is none were found. Republicans are still going along with that train of thought- makes no sense to me. A friend of our family that was deployed to Iraq early on said there were WMDs found in several facilities and storage bunkers- but they didn’t count because they were “old” and already known to exist.
Ironic thing is that now pressure cookers with nails, etc. have been called WMDs by liberals after the Boston bombing.
Until certain information has been declassified by the DOD, not even Cheney is allowed to speak of what he knows.
And I suspect VP Cheney knows one hell of a lot of information that nobody would even comprehend........;.
