Cheney to 9-11 Commission: Go Fuck Yourself (Again)
What a complete and utter asshole!
This ongoing story just boggles my mind. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, but this seems to be the sequence:
1. 9-11 Commission says there's no link between Saddam and Al Qaeda.
2. Cheney insists there is a link, and that he knows because he has access to special information the commission doesn't.
3. The Commission says, "OK, if you know something we don't, please let us see the info."
4. Cheney gives them nothing but a sneer.
5. The Commission issues a statement saying, "OK, well, I guess he doesn't have any special information, then. We must be right that there was no connection."
6. And now, this: "A spokesman for Mr. Cheney, Kevin Kellems, said on Tuesday that the White House welcomed the statement, calling it proof that the White House had fully cooperated in providing the panel all available intelligence relevant to its work."
So they "welcome" a statement which says nothing but that since Cheney refuses to turn over information he insinuates he has, that information must not exist?
Am I going insane? Who ever heard of such infantile bullshit? This is the Vice President? This is how he deals with the bipartisan commission investigating the 9-11 terrorist attacks on our country??
