Bill Moyers, in a June 29th interview with anti-war Middle East scholar and retired Army Colonel Andrew Bacevich, quotes from a 1994 interview with Dick Cheney, altogether too outspoken former VP:
BILL MOYERS: Even Cheney once thought that it would be a serious mistake to occupy Baghdad. This is Dick Cheney in 1994 reflecting on the first Iraq war-- when he was Secretary of Defense under George H.W. Bush.
BRUCE COLLINS on C-Span,1994: Do you think the US, or UN forces, should have moved into Baghdad?
DICK CHENEY on C-Span,1994: No.
BRUCE COLLINS on C-Span,1994: Why not?
DICK CHENEY on C-Span,1994: . . . Once you got to Iraq and took it over, and 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 in Iraq, you can easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off . . . It's a quagmire.
(italics mine)
I have two questions:
1. Where was this Dick Cheney in 2003?
2. Can we deport to ISIS this odious, treasonous vermin?
