Dick Cheney, yes I know. It was however, never presented as an administration argument, never repeated, and i think withdrawn by Cheney himself. One 'swallow' does not an autumn make and one off the cuff remark by an opportunist idiot does not equal "Saddam, we were assured in 2003, had nuclear weapons". We were assured of no such thing, and you know it.
Oh, and this oft repeated argument that if you attack one genocidal regime you must therefore simultaneously attack all genocidal regimes or be held a hippocrite. Because Kim Jong Il still exists is not a reason to not attack Iran.
