Cheney's Lies -- "There He Goes Again!"

Sen. Carl Levin (D -Mich.) takes on the VP in an LA Times op-ed piece -- who continues to spread the fable that somehow Saddam was involved with Al Qaeda, thus justifying the Iraq War. That no one in the intelligence community believes this, that the world at large doesn't believe this, suggests that this VP or ours is delusional at best.

He writes:

The vice president has made so many outlandish statements that the country barely raised an eyebrow at his false statement last week. The public has stopped believing the words of a man who promised, before we invaded Iraq, that we would be "greeted as liberators" and reassured us nearly two years ago that the insurgency was in its "last throes."

But his comments continue to erode our credibility with the international community, which has already been severely damaged by our rush to war with Iraq with little international support. If, in the months ahead, we face a crisis over Iran's weapons programs and need to rally the international community, we may find that the world has little interest in trusting an administration that misstates facts.

By all accounts, Dick Cheney is one of the most powerful vice presidents in our history, if you define power as influence over policy. We need to ask ourselves: What does it mean for our country when the vice president's words lack credibility, but he still wields great power?

Indeed, he is powerful and continues to hold power over the President, and yet his every statement erodes the nation's international credibility. It's time for Dick to go!!! And it's time for the nation to say to the Administration, enough is enough!
