did you actually watch the video? political affiliation aside, it's mind blowing: they knew it was a mistake but did it anyway! - IrishJoe, on 10/10/2007, -11/+70brycelb wrote: "I refuse to read this if it comes from crooks and liars. Automatic bury! This is like the liar calling the liar a liar."
This is a video of Dick Cheney in 1994 saying that invading Iraq and taking out Saddam would be a huge mistake for America and would lead the US into a quagmire where we would be stuck between the Sunnis and Shiites and Kurds fighting one another bleeding into neighboring countries once Saddam was removed from power. So, brycelb, you bury it without bothering to listen to it. What a complete ignoramus! Obviously you are a Republican since you are afraid of the truth and call truth lies and lies the truth. Everyone, brycelb just told everyone on the Internet that he's an ignorant SOB. HA HA HA HA HA HA, brycelb!!!! What a dumb ***** you've shown the world you are!!!!! HA HA HA. - IrishJoe, on 10/10/2007, -3/+58For those like brycelb afraid to watch a video from a link at Crooks and Liars here's a transcript and a link to YouTube:
Q: Do you think the U.S., or U.N. forces, should have moved into Baghdad?
Cheney: No.
Q: Why not?
Cheney: 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.

- Kinkistyle, on 10/10/2007, -3/+37I wonder why they didn't show this video 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the run-up to the war... oh thats right, the entire mainstream media had a raging hardon for death and destruction and just just dying to get that great jack-off shot of Baghdad exploding in the night.
- zKman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32@ o0300o:
Cheney: We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.
Russert: If your analysis is not correct, and we're not treated as liberators, but as conquerors, and the Iraqis begin to resist, particularly in Baghdad, do you think the American people are prepared for a long, costly, and bloody battle with significant American casualties?
Cheney: Well, I don't think it's likely to unfold that way, Tim, because I really do believe that we will be greeted as liberators. - JigoroKano, on 10/10/2007, -5/+33It's sad that a 13 year old can figure it out and yet here we are.
- carpespasm, on 10/10/2007, -4/+24maybe he doesn't recall?
- iamexcite, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21You don't have to read anything, just watch a video of Cheney. Here, I'll even de-crooks-and-liars it for you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BEsZMvrq-I - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Agreed - Oh..you meant the article. I assumed you were talking about yourself.
- IbnDigg, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20Wow, tell me something I didn't know. And what's sad is some Americans haven't quite worked this out yet
- r4ge, on 10/10/2007, -4/+21Your great country is fulled to the brim with retards ;)
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 10/10/2007, -2/+18How is it biased when the words are coming out of Dick's mouth?
- Plinkotic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Except for the average Iraqi citizen who's lost someone to American Fire, accidentally or no. I doubt they EVER thought of you as liberators. Was a nice pic though, them yanking Saddam's statue down and his face off the money.
- XxFinalexX, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20Wow.
Does anyone remember Spiro Agnew? - legendxx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16instead of crying about this site being run by democrats.. how about showing some facts that disproves the article?
- fancypantscz, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19willful negligence + dead soldiers = jail time
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -6/+21What changed his mind? Maybe the time he spent as CEO for Halliburten between the taping of this video and his current role as vice president.
- supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -8/+23I would digg that post title even if it linked to a non existent web site.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16Thats a load - the political situation in the middle east hasn't changed all that much since 1994 - the real change was that Bush/Cheney had the flag of 9/11 to herd the gullible.
- dukeeeey, on 10/10/2007, -8/+20Cheney isn't just a liar. Hes the ***** anti christ.
- cherwilco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11dude you can make this as easy and brainless as humanly possible. some people just don't get it. actually by last count less than 30% of people just dont get it!
- Plinkotic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Nope. The real issue isn't democrats. The real issue is reality. If they could only change the reality of the situation, then those liberals would see!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12How dare you call the Emperor a liar! Are you insane? Guards! GUARDS! Take this cur to the torture chambers and teach him to respect his betters! That'll show you peasants. Okay, so, who wants to go hunting with the Emperor? For security reasons his gun will be loaded, yours won't. Someone help that lawyer over there. The one with the shot-up face who's crying.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Is it still a great country when our president and vice president are crooks, our family members are dying every day, and our rights are taken as we speak.
I don't think we're allowed to call it a great country anymore. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+14you are delusional. The situation did not change. Saddam was less a threat in 2003 than at the time of this interview. PLEASE stop continuing to show the world the abject failure of our education system.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Please...if they hadn't used 9/11 as some kind of rallying cry there is no way they would have gotten any support for this debacle. That is what changed. Bush/Cheney took advantage of the deaths of the citizens that died on 9/11and used them to push this obscene, useless and horribly expensive war.
- workfaster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9This clip is obviously a liberal media conspiracy. I can tell the whole thing was Photoshopped. I’m pretty sure this was actually Kerry saying it, or Clinton…
- DavidGX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8...chocolate rain... they digg you down because they've gone astray....
- biotch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Bush and Cheney ran on exactly that contention; "Nobody is allowed to change their mind in politics".... ever. They would point out the tiniest differences in Kerry's campaign dating all the way back to the vietnam era and the republicans would run with it. So yes, those who do not support the Bush administration have every right to point out Bush and Cheney inconsistencies; especially when it pertains to one of the largest issues this nation faces, the Iraq war.
- coyoteblue, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8...and the general American public still doesn't care enough to hang the bastard
- cherwilco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8He cant show facts that aren't there, well not without being a liar...oh well then maybe he can!
- TheRealToma, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Yenehc Kcid.
Only saying his name backwards can return him to the 5th dimension. - skyscape, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11Cheney is a liar cause he promissed us he will invade Iran, nothing is happening.
- vajra918, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Reality has a liberal bias.
- JigoroKano, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Have you been in a coma from the time he said that till now?
- Stormflux, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Ding Ding! We have a winner.
- Frosty122, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7is it just me or are you always buried?
- biotch, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Yeah well funny how the liberals all said it would happen too but the republicans didnt listen this time around and even refused to listen while it was happening up to and including now.
- Plinkotic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I like old people who decide they've enough experience with life to make better decisions than those younger. It's usually true, but if you come on here and post about it, then you must be worried.
And for the record, there are people of all ages that show wisdom. Elders ought to remember that occasionally.
/sick of old ***** telling me ***** that's incorrect and backing it up with "Listen Sonny..." and not much else. - babybitch, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Off, not on.
- YourDoom123, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5not quite... facts aren't biased by definition. a person presenting a fact might be biased, but if the fact is truly a fact, it carries no bias with it. only the presentation can be biased, not the fact itself.
- riverrunner, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Well sounds like he was smarter in the past - wonder what went wrong.
- WasabiBomb, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7...aaaand buried and reported for, oh, the usual stuff. Honestly, it's like whack-a-moron.
- finaldarkone, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Agreed. Can move to yours?
- Frosty122, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4can people be banned on stupidity?
- ggnictee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4i'm more surprised the Daily Show didn't run. It's sad but it seems our news is entertainment and our entertainment news.
- jestin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Get your facts straight. Al Gore NEVER said he invented the internet. That is a completely exaggerated misinterpretation that has been repeated so many times that some morons actually believe it without even checking to see if it's true.
