Vice President Dick Cheney's office acknowledged on Thursday that he was mistaken when he asserted that China, at Cuba's behest, is drilling for oil in waters 60 miles from the Florida coast.

Uh, I addressed the statement that 'China is drilling off my coast' was wrong, as Dick Cheney's office acknowledged (George Will also conceded he was wrong).

I made no mention of where you got your information, only where Dick Cheney said he got his.

What did I fail to back up, I showed where Dick Cheney office admitted to being wrong about China drilling off the shores of the U.S.

Would you like a more authoritative voice? He's even on your side, he wants to drill in the Gulf. It's right there in the link I provided.

"But no one is currently drilling in any of those concessions," said Pinon in a telephone interview. Pinon, who supports drilling in the eastern Gulf and believes it can be done without hurting the environment, said China is being raised as an unnecessary "boogeyman" by drilling proponents.

YOU brought up China drilling off our coast.

How, specifically, did I attack you?...
