Just like Edwards kept repeating throughout the night, "Cheney said Iraq and Al Qaeda were directly connected, this is untrue!"
Cheney never said this. It was from a December 2003 "Meet the Press" interview... the media has been playing it all day when Cheney said to Tim Russert...
"We will have struck a major blow right at the heart of the base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11"
Now, since they are trying to TRICK you, they didn't show what happened immediately after, knowing most people didn't listen to the entire statement, it is as follows:
Tim Russert: "So the resistance in Iraq is coming from those who were responsible for 9/11?"
Dick Cheney: "No, I was careful not to say that."
Since we're playing "Did he really say that?"
