Pretty telling isn't it? Invading and occupying would be a "quagmire"? He finally got one prediction right and he didn't even listen to himself.

What's really scary is that even on the internet, where there is total secrecy of who you are...conservatives are railing like the bribing they pulled of in ramadi is a huge success and we've won the war in iraq

Honestly, not one pro-surge conservative ive talked to has ever stepped back and said "where is Iraq going to be in 5 years?" these people are either so hyped up from a discredited oped (remember the NYT lets basically anyone write there) that they honestly think Baghdad is going to be the Beruit of the late 1960s...total fantasyland

I think that is the first reasonable thing i have ever heard come out of Dick Cheney's mouth.

Though he did change his mind by 1998.

Wow he pretty much described exactly what was going to happen. What happened? Did someone steal his brain between 1994 and 2001?

Yes, the conservatives are nowhere to be found. I saw this the other day and was kinda wondering why it wasn't being discussed here.

This should be on every single news outlet there is and then have him answer to it...ask him what about Iraq in 1994 is different enough from Iraq 2002 to have him do a complete 180 in his thinking and actually think we could pull it off.

Thinking he had WMD. Breaking of peace agreements. Not wanting something worse to happen to us after 9/11. All that kind of non-sense.

I thought you people liked it when politicians changed their minds
