BAGDHAD, Iraq - Iraqi state television reported Thursday that Vice President Dick Cheney was in Baghdad, but U.S. officials said Cheney was not in the capital.

State-run Iraqiya TV and the private Al-Arabiya TV station reported that Cheney had arrived in the Iraqi capital on Thursday morning, apparently to visit American troops for the Thanksgiving holiday.

But Lt. Col. Christopher Garver said that the vice president was not in Iraq "as far as we know."

When the vice president's office announced late Wednesday that he would leave Washington on Friday for a trip to Saudi Arabia, it gave no indication that he also would visit Iraq.

4. He's the Mother Of All Shit Bags!

More hated than Bush here in his own country. If I was him I'd stay in the "undisclosed location" 24/7. It will be fun to watch what the democrats in congress have in store for him.

Edit when congress gets done with Halliburton he'll be Old "Broke Dick Cheney!"

Now they're foisting Cheney on them?:yoiks:

11. On Washington Journal they said he'll be going to Saudi Arabia soon

to negotiate something with the Saudis. Why is this man being allowed to do anything regarding international policy right now? He should be walled up in his bunker until the next two years are over then let out. Cheney has done major damage to this nation and the world.

[NOLADEM]

12. Yeah, but it was THIS official.

[radfringe]

14. just a case of mistaken identity

bush sent a body double for cheney to throw off the terrorists...

what Iraqi reports saw was:

15. It doesn't surprise me at all that they are denying he's in Baghdad

No one from this administration has ever made a trip to Baghdad that wasn't a surprise visit. With Cheney being the coward that he is, I'm sure his visit would not be announced until he is safely out of the country and away from all of the evildoers.
