Cheney under pressure to quit over false war evidence
Anger grows on both sides of Atlantic at misleading claims on eve of Iraq conflict
By Andrew Buncombe in Washington and Marie Woolf
16 July 2003


Dick Cheney, the US Vice-President and the administration's most outspoken hawk over Iraq, faced demands for his resignation last night as he was accused of using false evidence to build the case for war.

He was accused of using his office to insist that a false claim about Iraq's efforts to buy uranium from Africa to restart its nuclear programme be included in George Bush's State of the Union address - overriding the concerns of the CIA director, George Tenet.

2. Poor Dick, has to go back to making gazillions at Halliburton...
Bastard is probably looking forward to being sacrificed so he can go back to his fellow crooks at Halliburton...either way, by staying or leaving, he rapes the American people...

Serious jail time is what is really required...but not even a possibility (class warfare indeed!).
