Troofer Myths - Number 342 in an infinite list

Troofers claim Dick Cheney 'admitted' that there was no evidence linking OsamaBinLaden to 911. They always post the same interview with Cheney.....it appears below.

Cheney does indeed say what the Troofers claim he does - that there is 'no evidence linking OBL with 911'.

However, Cheney very clearly mis-spoke - he obviously meant to say "no evidence against Saddam Hussein for 911".

That much is obvious, but only if you listen to the whole conversation. The use of the isolated quote distorts the true picture.

Listen to it - notice the question Cheney is responding to : "...the White House has never argued Saddam Hussein was involved with 911....?"

Here's how one particularly potty-mouthed Troofer pursues this obvious lie about Cheney:


Such venom, and such certainty. And all based on a simple lie.

The blog I just got banned from was pushing the same lie about Cheney, in the same context - conspiracism about killing of Osama.

When I posted the facts of the matter, showing their claims are an obvious deceit.....my post was deleted. Surprise! Fearless Troof Seekers.

ETA 13.6.2011 - The potty-mouth Troofer quoted above appears in the comments below - asking if there is any evidence that Cheney mis-spoke....that he meant no connection between Saddam and 911, not OBL and 911.

Well, no evidence is required, it is patently obvious that Cheney meant to say Saddam, not Osama. But we have much better than that - though Troofers dishonestly never tell anyone about it.

It is 2011, nearly 10 years since the interview in question took place.

The interview, or more specifically that single quote from Cheney, has been published and republished for years, thousands of times, over and over and over......

One might think at least one Troofer would be honest enough to have bothered to read the entire interview by now, seeing as how often they use the claim Cheney said no "evidence linking OBL to 911".

Well, aside from it being obvious what he meant, the actual interview makes it clear - but Troofers have never bothered to find out, and they certainly haven't told anyone the Truth about it.

Here is the part of that interview which Troofers have dishonestly never bothered to recognise:

Questioner: Okay. A couple of things, I think a couple of minutes ago -- I want to make sure -- you said Osama bin Laden wasn't involved in 9/11 planning. You meant Saddam Hussein, correct? That Saddam Hussein was not involved in September 11th?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Correct. Yes, sir.

Q Okay.

THE PRESIDENT CHENEY: Thanks for straightening that out. I didn't realize I'd done that. (Laughter.)

Q Yes. Well, otherwise we'd have a whole lot more stories to deal with.

SOURCE: TRANSCRIPT

Nearly 10 years and Troofers are still trotting out their lies, and deliberately avoiding any evidence which contradicts them. Cherry-picking, etc.

Isn't it pathetic that Troofers are still pushing their lies about this? In nearly 10 years they haven't bothered to check out the actual interview - or they have checked the interview, and have continued to dishonestly never mention it.

Kind of ironic for a self-styled Truth Movement. But completely typical - the Troofer movement is characterised by such stuff - dishonesty, lack of intellectual integrity, inability to objectively assess evidence, cherry-picking, etc etc etc.
