But as the Czech government distanced itself from its initial assertion and American investigators determined Atta was probably in the United States at the time of the meeting, other administration officials dropped the incident from their public statements about Iraq.  <br><br> Not Cheney, who was the administration's most vociferous advocate for going to war with Iraq. He brought up the connection between Atta and al-Ani again two weeks ago in an appearance on NBC's \"Meet the Press\" in which he also suggested links between Iraq and the Sept. 11 attacks.  <br>  <br> ===============  <br>  <br> I am no psychologist but this sure sounds like Cheney is exhibiting symptoms of a delusional psychotic. And of course a delusional psychotic should not be allowed to run the only super power.
