Cheney: CIA Report Backs Iraq War Plan - LAT

[WillyT]

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Vice President Dick Cheney presented a new, sharply worded attack on the Democratic presidential ticket today, saying the CIA report on unconventional weapons in Iraq supported the administration's decision to go to war.

The vice president talked about what the Bush administration offers as the central issue in the presidential campaign — the altered state of national security in the wake of the September 2001 attacks — as he sought to justify the U.S. military action in Iraq by using the CIA report released Wednesday, which declared that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction at the time the United States invaded.

And...

In a brief appearance as he prepared to fly to Wisconsin, President Bush reacted to the Duelfer report by saying that Hussein "was a threat we had to confront, and the world and America are safer for our actions."

On errors in intelligence, Bush said, "We must find out why and correct the flaws." Intelligence, the president said, "must be better and it will be."
