Default Dick Cheney.. "Invading Bagdad would create a Quagmire"..

Very interesting comments from Dick Cheney in 1994, this you tube interview echoes the concerns of many who post here.. it is only 1:22 so spend a minute and a half..

yes, Cheney's words back then have been well documented the past couple years... the right wing media has been just about as silent about that damning bit of hypocrisy as the forum here has been...

A quagmire, yes, but think how profitable it has been to Cheney and his friends, and it will be that way for a long time.

you've gotta hand it to the guy. He had a theory back in the 90's, and as we all know a theory is only as good as the experiment that proves or disproves that theory.


Cheney's theory was correct! Lets all thank him for his vision.


Honestly....This is the FIRST time this man has been correct. Bravo Dick, BRA-VO!

Who was in power in 1994? A democratic Clinton right? So his comments should make sense to everyone. Think social security in the 90's versus SS in the 21st century.

GJA,

we've been through this...don't you know ALL of the bush administration's problems actually are the fault of Bill Clinton? I hear William Kristol, and Rove say that....so it must be true.

Relax, and take a deep breathe.

Dems in power in 1994, they talk tough cuz that's what admins in power do. Cuz the admin takes the tough approach, the not in power party has to take the X position, to their Y. Are you following me? I mentioned SS because it's something I've refferenced in here a bunch of times, in how it helped open my eyes to the X Y scenario. Clinton in the late 90's in an SOTUA talked about the dire condition of SS to which the GOP laughed. GW enters power and talks about the dire condition of SS and the Dems laugh. Get it now?

real world, that example only applies in your mind. it's pretty flimsy evidence to say [dem/rep] "laughed" after [x]...
can you provide more concrete examples to prove your admin vs. outsider theory based on no truth?

Heck, I remember a lot of libbies (including your good friend, Dan Rather) being especially tough on George Bush Sr. for not marching all the way to Baghdad in 1991 after the rout of Iraqi forces in Kuwait. Rather said something to the effect of (paraphrasing from memory): "Our forces were only 2 hours from Baghdad where they could have gotten Hussein. Why didn't they do that..?!? It would clearly have been the smart thing..!!"
