Cheney's statement authenticate the Downing St. Minutes...
<<SNIP>>
Vice President Dick Cheney was asked on CNN about the 'Downing Street memo' which said the Bush Administration had decided to go to war with Iraq and the intelligence would be fixed around that policy.

Asked if he disputes the memo's claim, Cheney said, "Of course. The memo was written sometime prior to when we actually got involved in Iraq. "
<</SNIP>>

So essentially he doesn't dispute it's authenticity, rather he disputes it's "claim"....

1. Oh, really Dick?
We all thought the memo was written after they got involved in Iraq.

We actually thought the memo was written next year.

Silly us.

2. Isn't that worse?
The fact that the memo was written before just makes it all the more insidious, right?

4. and he's also lying
when the minutes were written, we had already started the air campaign. Meaningless words from a traitor who needs to be impeached, arrested, convicted and Hung!

7. Hey DICK . . . the fact that it was written prior to the invasion is the
whole point.

Or are you getting senile enough to not know that?

9. Great. Now which Top Democrat will go on TV and say this?
Otherwise, it's like the tree that falls in the woods with no one to hear it.
