Let's hope this sound bite was taken out of context and Cheney didn't really mean it. Does anyone have the longer version of his interview from 2006?

He meant Sadam. He misspoke. He was asked about Sadam (http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2xRLiRqb8M) and said Osama instead. It's bad for the truth/conspiracy movement to exaggerate and make conclusions out of context. A better "misspeaking" moment that speaks volumes is when Rumsfeld said United 93 was shot down (http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0v0_HDwg84). That's more than misspeaking; that's a freudian slip if you will. ;)

In this case it doesn't appear to be a slip of the tongue, but context around this sound bite should help.
