Cheney Tells the Truth About Iraq

I know this administration is almost gone, but the next administration will either keep us fighting in Iraq or pull us back to a marginal force. I for one was against invading Iraq since before we went in. I never thought it was a good idea. I said to my family, who supported the invasion, 3 days before the invasion "This will be a quagmire and alot of Americans will lose their lives and Saddam isn't worth it right now". This Administration also said the war, in TOTAL, would cost us less than ten billion. It now costs ten billion a MONTH, and economists say it's long term effect could cost 3 TRILLION. This war has now lasted longer than World War II.

If you still somehow support the Iraq war, please watch this video, and tell me our leaders did not know what they faced if we invaded Iraq. This is an interview with Dick Cheney (who served in Bush Senior's administration during the first Gulf War, which i did support). This is 1994, and he sounds like he's got a crystal ball into how the current Iraq war has played out. Remember, this interview is from 1994.

They knew. We went in anyway. John McCain will keep us fighting there. If you haven't yet registered to vote, the deadline is approaching quickly. I posted a blog last week with an easy link to Register to Vote online. it takes 3 minutes. Do it. Then vote on November 4th.
