Cheney jumps to conclusions

Thu Oct 28, 2004 at 11:48:14 AM PDT

You probably have heard Bush's statement on the missing explosives:
Now the Senator is making wild charges about missing explosives, when his top foreign policy advisor admits "we don't know the facts."...And a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not the person you want as the Commander-in-Chief.

Cheney then opens mouth and inserts foot:
Kerry is "just dead wrong. ... We know ... upwards to 125 tons had been removed" in January 2003 before the invasion, Cheney told supporters at a restaurant coffee session in the battleground state of Wisconsin.

"He's just plain wrong on the facts," Cheney said.

Around the time Cheney was speaking, a United Nations agency called the news report into question, saying that it cited an inspection report of a single day and that most of the explosives were kept at another site that the U.N. agency considered part of the overall storage area.


Well, I guess Bush agrees that Dick is someone we don't want a heartbeat away from being the Commander-in-Chief.
