WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney added his voice on Wednesday to the chorus of Republican criticism of Democrats who have accused the Bush administration of manipulating intelligence on Iraq, calling it "one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city."

"Some of the most irresponsible comments have, of course, come from politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing force against Saddam Hussein," Cheney said in remarks prepared for a GOP fundraiser.

... "What we're hearing now is some politicians contradicting their own statements and making a play for political advantage in the middle of a war," Cheney said in remarks prepared for a speech at the Frontiers of Freedom Institute's 2005 Ronald Reagan gala.

"The saddest part is that our people in uniform have been subjected to these cynical and pernicious falsehoods day in and day out," he said.
