BREITBART.COM - White House dismisses Hersh article: "'If the Democrats won on November 7th, the vice president said, that victory would not stop the administration from pursuing a military option with Iran,' Hersh wrote, citing a source familiar with the discussion.

The Democrats wrested control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate from President George W. Bush's Republican Party in the November 7 vote.

Cheney said the White House would circumvent any restrictions imposed by a Democratic legislature 'and thus stop Congress from getting in its way' on Iran, which denies accusations it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons.

In his New Yorker article, Hersh also reported that a classifed draft CIA assessment had found no firm evidence of a secret drive by Iran to develop nuclear weapons, as alleged by the White House."
