3. We have found wmds. (In fact Saddam's defector son-in-law stated that all wmds were destroyed in 1991 and the Bush team was told that) Cheney - the worst liar of the bunch, who literally made up stories to support the case for war - still says wmds will be found - despite of the fact handpicked wmd hunter, Kay has debunked all this...September 2003: "We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved in the September 11 [attacks]," Mr Bush said, though he said there was "no question" that the Iraqi dictator "had al-Qaida ties". guardian.co.uk On Sunday, by contrast, Mr Cheney said the popular belief in a link was "not surprising ... we don't know." Victory in Iraq, he went on, would strike at "the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault for many years, but most especially on 9/11." Mr Cheney also returned in the interview to an allegation, attributed to Czech intelligence, that the 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta met a senior Iraqi intelligence official in April 2001 in Prague. According to numerous reports, the FBI and CIA found no evidence of such a meeting, and Vaclav Havel, the then Czech president, told the White House that there was none. But Mr Cheney told NBC's Meet The Press: "We've never been able to develop any more of that yet either in terms of confirming it or discrediting it. We just don't know." Democrats have accused the Bush administration of deliberately seeking to convey a false impression about the relationship between the terrorist network and Saddam guardian.co.uk

Here are two quotes from Cheney and David Kay, just days apart: “I think the consensus opinion is that when you look at those two trailers, while they had capabilities in many areas, their actual intended use was not the production of biological weapons.” David Kay, former weapons inspector. Jan 28, 2004 "We know, for example, that prior to our going in that he had spent time and effort acquiring mobile biological weapons labs, and we're quite confident he did, in fact, have such a program. We've found a couple of semi trailers at this point which we believe were, in fact, part of that program. Now it's not clear at this stage whether or not he used any of that to produce or whether he was simply getting ready for the next war. That, in my mind, is a serious danger in the hands of a man like Saddam Hussein, and I would deem that conclusive evidence, if you will, that he did, in fact, have programs for weapons of mass destruction." Dick Cheney, NPR Jan 23, 2004
