From Meet the Press, September 14, 2003
VICE PRES. CHENEY: No. I don’t know Joe Wilson. I’ve never met Joe Wilson.
Intersection in History:
From 1988-1991, Wilson was the Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. He was the last official American to meet with Saddam Hussein before "Desert Storm."
Mr. Cheney also served a crucial role when America needed him most. As Secretary of Defense from March 1989 to January 1993, Mr. Cheney directed two of the largest military campaigns in recent history - Operation Just Cause in Panama and Operation Desert Storm in the Middle East.
The Secretary of Defense during Desert Storm doesn’t know the last official American to meet with Saddam before the conflict began. Okay.
