Cheney said in 1994 and in 2000 that invading Iraq would result in a quagmire, sectarian violence and the splitting up of the country. Now, Cheney and his enablers justify the invasion because "9/11 changed everything". This is yet another example of this Administration's poor logic resulting in bad decisions. How did 9/11 change the fact that invading Iraq would result in a quagmire? It’s as if Cheney is arguing that 9/11 means America’s foreign policy doesn't have to adhere to logic and reality; suddenly what was once true is no longer. I'd be really impressed if a journalist asked the following: "Mr. Cheney said in 1994 and 2000 that invading Iraq would result in quagmire but now he claims 9/11 changed everything. My question is how does 9/11 change the conclusion reached in 1994 and 2000 that invasion would result in a quagmire?"
