Cheney Claims Iran Trying To Develop Bomb Despite No Evidence

LA Times:

Certainly high oil prices, the state of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Arab-Israeli conflict were high on the agenda of Vice President Dick Cheney's recent tour of the Middle East. But the subject of Iran was never far from the surface of the trip, which is now wrapping up.

Cheney alleged in an interview Monday that Iran was trying to develop weapons-grade uranium, even though international inspectors have never found such evidence. According to a White House transcript of an interview with ABC's Martha Raddatz, Cheney said:

Obviously, they're also heavily involved in trying to develop nuclear weapons enrichment, the enrichment of uranium to weapons grade levels.

His insatiable greed to accumulate more wealth is never satisfied.

Halliburton is not making enough bood money off the backs of our patriotic soldiers in Iraq, he needs to expand his (MIC) war chest to include Iran, not to mention the additional strain on the already overtapped, taxpayer. Like Cheney said, "SO".

[Teritt]

If Cheney said 'Good Morning' I'd have to check my watch and look outside to see if the sun was out. There isn't anything he says that I'd trust to be true.

[Collielady]

Get ready for another Middle East cakewalk.

[SifSkade]

Only someone -- like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush, most neocons -- who has never been within sniffing distance of a war is this gung ho about starting one.

[LeftLeaner]

not to mention they're greedy MFs.

It's more money for Halliburton - war profiteering (blood money) off of the backs of our patriotic soldiers and taxpayers- the Military Industrial Complex.

deja vu all over again

Cheney trying to develop EXCUSES despite no evidence.

[VivaZapata]

It's time for Cheney to go. Help Congressman Wexler being impeachment hearings.

If he said it, it has to be true. (I don't care what anyone says)!

[BC33]

So?

[SeagirlX]

NOT AGAIN??!!!!!! Does this administration ACTUALLY, SERIOUSLY think we're gonna fall for THIS charade again?? LUDICROUS!!

[DavidK08]

I was going to type something out, but, this says all that needs saying.

[gdaerin]

I second that!

[MovingtoNorway]

Can't somebody lock him in his bunker and not let him out until 2009???

[BC33]

...or never let him out....

[PTTY]

On Air America this morning, there was a report where Saudi Arabia is preparing for an Attack against Iran.

[resonate]

Great here comes the next war. Wait until the draft gets reinstated.... Woopie! All while America sits on the empire sofa worrying about the economy and stuffing toxic food down its consuming pit. If only there was a way to make a sofa run on oil. $$

[serialcoma]

cheney, like most old people with his health issues, suffers from a 30% reduction in blood flow to his brain. He should not be in government.. he should be in a hospital... restrained for the good of all mankind.

[PeopleFirst]

Hhhmmmmmm! Now where have I heard something like this before? Wait, it'll come to me....Oh yes the war we are already in!

Of course some kind of scare has to happen pretty soon because otherwise McCain will have NOTHING AT ALL to talk about (not that he can get that straight either)

[resonate]

Just wait Im sure someone in the administration is cooking up a great domestic terrorist attack as we blog here. Its the perfect justification for their sick agenda.

[LeftLeaner]

I think you are correct.

Petraeus is starting to TRY to plant the seeds for war with Iran.

Then the MEDIA memes this and it becomes FACT.

I hope they're more RESPONSIBLE this time (the Media).

[studlyguy]

typo:talking

[studlyguy]
