    CHENEY: I don't, Tim. It was–and it's been talked about since then. But the fact of the matter is, the only way you could have done that would be to go to Baghdad and occupy Iraq. If we'd done that, the U.S. would have been all alone. We would not have had the support of the coalition, especially of the Arab nations that fought alongside us in Kuwait. None of them ever set foot inside Iraq. Conversations I had with leaders in the region afterwards -- they all supported the decision that was made not to go to Baghdad.

    They were concerned that we not get into a position where we shifted instead of being the leader of an international coalition to roll back Iraqi aggression to one in which we were an imperialist power, willy-nilly moving into capitals in that part of the world taking down governments. So I think we got it right, so suppose it's one of those things that'll be debated for some time. But I thought the decision was sound at the time, and I do today. [Meet the Press, 8/27/00]

    If he came out in 2002 and said things like even if it will be a mess, or however hard it will be, it is something that due to the threat we need to do blah blah blah, I could probably stomach it a little more... but to come out and say we will be treated as liberators and it will be a cakewalk and and all that crap makes me sick...

    Someone could have made the argument that it could be something that had to be done, but nothing in Iraq changed to make the difficulty any less.

    PROBABLY, he was the lead character in the lead up to the war. More like he was ME and Bush was MINI ME.

    Leiberman thinks Syria is the way to go...double down in spite of repeated losing hands...brilliant strategy to go bankrupt on.

    Iran should be starting any day now.

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
