Thinking About Iraq With The Big Dick: Was He Right Then Or Now?

Well, I'm sure many of you have seen this, but have a gander at this little snip from our immediate past:



Here's what he is saying now:
The central front in the war on terror is Iraq. We are there because it is where lethal enemies have gathered. We are there because, after 9/11, we decided to deny terrorists any safe haven. We are there because, having removed Saddam Hussein, we promised not to allow another brutal dictator to rise in his place. And we are there because the security of this nation depends on a successful outcome -- an Iraq that can defend itself, govern itself, sustain itself and be a ally in the global war on terror.

Was the Big Dick correct then or now? It sure seems like, from our vantage point here in Aught Seven, that present conflagration begun as W, Rove and Co's miserable Freedom and Democracy spreading experiment being waged right now in Iraq is as he predicted in 1994.

US policy, perpetuating chaos?

We are there because, having removed Saddam Hussein, we promised not to allow another brutal dictator to rise in his place.

Better 100 years of dictatorship rather than one day of chaos.

Dick Cheney only cares about one thing, his pocketbook. I have the feeling he didn't support invading Baghdad before because he didn't have the tools in place to get his beloved Halliburton the no bid contracts he needed to make a profit from the war. What was the point, if he can't make a profit? He saw Georgie as his ticket to money and power and Georgie pulled through. At least that's what I think...I could be wrong.
