Cheney makes the case against invading Baghdad, says it would be a quagmire

This video is shocking to me; shocking in the hypocrisy that oozes out of this man. Here, in a video in 1994, Cheney defended the decision to NOT invade Baghdad, saying that there would be no other government to put in place and that the country would likely splinter into several pieces. He further says that the 146 American casualties were a high price to pay.

Money quote:

...and the question for the President, in terms of whether or not we went on to Baghdad and took additional casualties in an effort to get Saddam Hussein was how many additional dead Americans Hussein was worth, and our judgment was not very many and I think we got it right.

Let's see if the main stream media will be willing to throw this quote back at the now Vice President and ask him how he came to believe that nearly FOUR THOUSAND dead Americans are worth removing Saddam Hussein. Further, how he thinks we can settle the quagmire which he correctly predicted with out further loss of American lives. Finally, I'd like to know why he was the chief architect behind the current war in Iraq given his crystal clear understanding of what a disaster it would be.

It's time for an Accountability Moment.
