Cheney Says He Urged Bush To Bomb Suspected Syria Nuke Site

Ex-VP seems to relish criticism by liberals and defends Bush administration's 'tough interrogations' in pugnacious memoir

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says in a new memoir that he urged President George W. Bush to bomb a suspected Syrian nuclear reactor site in June 2007. But, he wrote, Mr. Bush opted for a diplomatic approach after other advisers — still stinging over “the bad intelligence we had received about Iraq’s stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction” — expressed misgivings.
