OK. If he meant that the U.S. could have walked up to the Al Qaeda member and arrested him or killed him if he resisted, without having to deal with Saddam at all, then you are correct.
But it is clear that is not what Cheney meant.
As for the no-fly zone - if it were not in place, Saddam could have walked over the Kurds by FLYING there. So, the no-fly zone was absolutely controlling the area.
