The Cheney 'Quagmire' Video

I'm sure Cheney will argue that 9-11 changed his thinking vis a vis invading Iraq and whether or not it was worth American lives, however what cannot be denied is that he always knew that this was going to be a quagmire, despite this administration's rosy predictions before the invasion. And he also knew that there was a very good chance that the country would disintegrate.

Wait... where was this guy to advise President Dubya before 2003?!

Oh wait, he got a job at Halliburton in 1995. Too bad, he would have been a good Presidential advisor...

Instead Bush got lumped with a greedy, ex-Oil Company executive...

Exactly, Alex. The worst thing is that he knew exactly what was happening while he was publicly saying that the "insurgency was in it's last throes".

This clip hangs him. He predicted exactly what would happen years in advance.
