Cheney Used To Know Better

First, let's watch a video, shall we?

Wow! Now that seemed like a complete 180-degree turn on Iraq! So what could have happened since 1994 that changed Cheney's mind so drastically on Iraq, even though he so accurately prognosticated what would happen if the US invaded? Oh yeah! He went to work for Halliburton from 1995-2000 and still receives stock and salary benefits from Halliburton as part of his very sweet "retirement" (or as some might argue promotion) package when he stole the White House alongside Bush. Yes, the same Halliburton that reaps huge rewards from the continued Iraq situation and actually has a say among the Bush Administration over what happens to the post-invasion oil production in Iraq.

"Once you got to Iraq and took it over and took down Saddam Hussein's government, then what are you gonna put in it's place? That's a very volatile part of the world and if you take down the central government in Iraq you could easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off... It's a quagmire." - Dick Cheney

But that was before they were declared part of the Axis of Evil^TM and the whole world became a 60's style comic book...

You realize you're completely avoiding the fact that Clinton got a blowjob, don't you?

Typical Liberal misdirection tactics...

In terms of his moral character, Cheney is a surprisingly weak man. I hate the phrase, "real man", but maybe it applies here -- as in "a real man would have stuck to his convictions." Then again, history shows that if you don't get enough blowjobs, you make bad foreign policy decisions.

Please change "real man" to "responsible adult", because I hate that phrase "real man". Cheney knew better than to invade Iraq. That he lobbied for the invasion shows he is not a strong, responsible adult.
