Dick Cheney talking about Iraq Invasion in 1994.

Vice President Dick Cheney talks about invasion of Iraq in 1994. He`s pretty confident too!!!! (I saw this in infowars.com)

 

Here is the transcript:

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.
