When Will Dick Cheney's Tower of Lies Come Tumbling Down?

By Arianna Huffington, Huffington Post. Posted June 8, 2009.

Cheney is practicing historical revisionism at its most despicable. Why does anyone believe anything he says?

Dick Cheney's statement to Greta van Susteren that "On the question of whether or not Iraq was involved in 9/11, there was never any evidence to prove that" is being widely portrayed as an admission.

But it's less an admission than a PR move. Cheney has spent the better part of the last seven years doing everything in his power to convince the American people of the very connection he now says there was "never any evidence" of.

In 2004, even after the 9/11 commission found "no credible evidence" of Iraqi involvement in 9/11, Cheney was still claiming the evidence that al Qaeda had a relationship with Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq was "overwhelming."

When he was asked in '04 if Iraq was involved in 9/11, he said, "We don't know." Three years after the attack -- and he still didn't know? Even after they had tried every trick in the black book -- including torture -- to find a link?

1. He has his impressively able daughter out there just tap dancing to beat the band...

2. And still the media whores never challenge him on his obvious bull shitting.

What did Greta say upon hearing Dick try to sweep 8 years of his Vice Presidential lies under the rug? I'll bet there wasn't even a raised eyebrow, but onto the next question.

3. I think I figured it out.

Dick brings his shotgun with him to these interviews and makes sure its off camera but very visible to the interviewer.

4. The more he talks, the sooner it will all unravel for him. nt

5. I certainly hope so. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone....

with people of influence (current politicians, former politicians, media personalities with TV and radio shows and books) blatantly LYING repeatedly -- even contradicting themselves from a mere one week earlier -- and no one challenges them!!!

I want off of this bus....

6. They must keep talking, the more they do, the deeper the hole they dig for themselves.

If they were smart they would be quiet.
The ones who keep their mouths shut will fare better.
The most vocal will go down hard in the court of public opinion.
