Josh Marshall included the following amoungst the “straight-up falsehoods” told by Cheney:
Then there was the time when he said that a major reason for the decline of suicide bombings in Israel is that Saddam is no longer paying those $25,000 bounties to the families of the bombers.
That’s got to be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. No one believes that. And I’m sure he’ll be ridiculed endlessly for saying it.
Marshall has it right. It is factually incorrect. I hope he reminds Joe Biden of it should he ever say it again.
