In this interview from April 15th, 1994 Dick Cheney reveals the reasons why invading Baghdad and toppling Saddam Hussein's regime wouldn't be a great idea. He also stipulates that "not very many" American soldiers' lives were worth losing to take out Saddam during the Gulf War.

So if the country is bankrupt, how is it that Obama's going to pay for his trillion dollar spending spree?

Stupid liberals... you always forget that Saddam broke the peace treaty over and over again. So what Cheney said in 1994 does not apply to the post 9/11 era. But silly liberals despise the actual facts.

God Bless You Dick Cheney!

It does apply because it did become a quagmire and helped bankrupt this country.

Jeffjohnson: ok so the Iraq War is 5% of our budget and you are going to blame 5% of the budget for "bankrupting America" Give me a break, The Iraq War is the cheapest large-scale War we have ever run as it only costs about 5% of our Budget and about 5% of GDP. Read more than liberal rantings

5% is 5% too much to fight a war under false pretenses. I guess we could ask the family members of soldiers who have been killed for nothing.

JeffJohnson: If you said that they would punch you in the face...the families of the military know they were fighting for a good cause, and most soldiers beleive in the mission. Go ahead, walk up to a dude who's son was killed in Iraq and tell him that his son died for nothing, I dare you.

Fuck Cheney! Why should you as an American hate Saddam or the rest of the world? Have they invaded your country and killed your loved ones, tried to teach you how to live and wipe your ass, etc. They don't even care about you sorry Amerikkkans either, it all about the NWO. Fuck that! A coward dies a thousand deaths, a real solja lives but ones. If these fuckers try to invade my motherland I will fight to death and not be afraid. Russian Pride and Peace on Earth.

Jesus, Cam, get a clue. The reasons given for the Iraq war were: 1) Iraq brutalized their own people. 2) Iraq flouted UN restrictions on weapons programs. 3) Iraq funds and trains terrorists. 4) Iraq might supply WMDs to terrorists. 5) Iraq is a threat to its neighbors. These were all TRUE. The invasion was the culmination of a 15-year buildup encompassing 3 presidencies and 8 Congresses. Knock of the brainless sound bites and learn a little history, willya?
