The video is a huge ball buster for the people who supported the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The video's music was so annoying though. All the singing was just as loud as cheney's talking, it's like trying to listen to two people talk at once. I didn't get all of it because of such, but the gist was there. Good stuff:thumbsup:

Why the hell was the music there? Who is stupid enough to put music in their video which totally goes over what is being said? What a stupid video maker.

Cheney's Office Attempts To Memory-Hole Embarrassing Video (http://www.infowars.net/articles/august2007/170807Cheney.htm)

Q: Do you think the U.S., or U.N. forces, should have moved into Baghdad?

A: No.

Q: Why not?

A: Because if we'd gone to Baghdad we would have been all alone. There wouldn't have been anybody else with us. There would have been a U.S. occupation of Iraq. None of the Arab forces that were willing to fight with us in Kuwait were willing to invade Iraq.

Once you got to Iraq and took it over, took down Saddam Hussein's government, then what are you going to put in its place? That's a very volatile part of the world, and if you take down the central government of Iraq, you could very easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off: part of it, the Syrians would like to have to the west, part of it -- eastern Iraq -- the Iranians would like to claim, they fought over it for eight years. In the north you've got the Kurds, and if the Kurds spin loose and join with the Kurds in Turkey, then you threaten the territorial integrity of Turkey.

It's a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq.

The other thing was casualties. Everyone was impressed with the fact we were able to do our job with as few casualties as we had. But for the 146 Americans killed in action, and for their families -- it wasn't a cheap war. And the question for the president, in terms of whether or not we went on to Baghdad, took additional casualties in an effort to get Saddam Hussein, was how many additional dead Americans is Saddam worth?

Our judgment was, not very many, and I think we got it right

Have a good one!:s4:The man just lied right from his own mouth. He cannot be trusted. Suddenly in 2003, he has a totally different opinion about Iraq?

Well, at least what he said about the failure of a US occupation has come true so he did tell us the truth partially. And the US pretty much did all the fighting themselves. The Brits didn't really do much anyway, so Cheney was right by saying that we would have been all alone. He was also right on how the Arab countries won't be involved.

Either Cheney is just a real evil motherfucker, or he has severe mood swings.

If that is the case, he probably wipes his ass with one brand of toilet paper one week, and a different brand the next.

Just pointing out on how they were all geared up for an invasion BEFORE Bush was even elected. :D

Ya know eg....there were MANY in here that felt that the "06" elections were their savior to the end of the war. Dem propoganda I guess huh?:D

Have a good one!:s4:No, the Democrats will not end the war. They are on the same team as the Republicans. :wtf:

All the same and I hate them both.

But I tend to hate Republicans more just for the sheer fact that I hate conservatives in the US in the 21st century, in which most are Christians.

If you support George W. Bush and Bill Clinton in any way, shape, or form, I believe you are a looser. If you are for the war in Iraq, than I think you are dumb and misinformed and you should sign up for it so you can live up to your ideals. If you believe that we need to have the 10 commandments in public schools and government buildings, than I think you are crazy. If you believe that the US needs a strong military and foreign policy and has the the right to do preemptive strikes on any sovereign nation it wishes, than I think you are a Nazi.

But will I try to take away that right for people to feel that way? Never.

Thats the difference between me and a truly totalitarian regime. I'll put up with it because I believe in a thing called free will.

Have a good one!:s4:There is a difference between a change of opinion for the greater good, or just because you were wrong, and ignoring facts for personal profit. One of those slightly complex, require a third grade level of reasoning type distinctions which seem forever just beyond the mental faculties of republicans.

My, my, my this has nothing to do with Democrats or Rebulicans, but everything to do with legal organized crime. If I am wrong tell me what the difference is between the mafia, and our government?

Democrats are the Gambinos, and the Rebulicans are the Genovese. They fight against eachother in the public eye, but when someone attacks their main goals they work together.
