In a handbasket
Cheney contended that al-Qaida was operating in Iraq before the March 2003 invasion led by U.S. forces and that terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was leading the Iraqi branch of al-Qaida. Others in al-Qaida planned the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

“He took up residence there before we ever launched into Iraq, organized the al-Qaida operations inside Iraq before we even arrived on the scene and then, of course, led the charge for Iraq until we killed him last June,” Cheney told radio host Rush Limbaugh during an interview. “As I say, they were present before we invaded Iraq.”
So, either this is a stunning move of the goal posts from "Iraq and Al Qaeda were in cahoots" to "Al Qaeda was operating inside Iraq," or it's quite the logic.

A: Al Qaeda was operating inside Iraq
Therefore B: Saddam and Al Qaeda are allied.

Let's try this with another country.

Before 9-11, the terrorists were operating here on US soil. So, but Cheney's Law of Relativity:

A: Al Qaeda was operating inside the US
Therefore B: Bush and Al Qaeda are allied

i think cheney's going for the "accessory after the fact", or some such hand-waving. being a cheney supporter, i'm dismayed he would spew forth yet again w/ what was a failed trial balloon from a few years back.

maybe he has red rider on his iPod
