If those people were a little bit more informed on foreign affairs (like the GOP vice-presidential candidate who can see the world from her window in Alaska) they would not have been so easily misled. "A GOP congressional leader who was wavering on giving President Bush the authority to wage war in late 2002 said Vice President Dick Cheney misled him by saying that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had direct personal ties to Al Qaeda terrorists and was making rapid progress toward a suitcase nuclear weapon, according to a new book by Washington Post reporter Barton Gellman."
