In Retrospect

I found this 1992 speech by Dick Cheney, then Secretary of Defense, explaining why the US military withdrew from the Gulf before Sadaam Hussein was ousted. It seems clear why so many of us thought we could trust these men with "experience." You have to watch the video to the end.

The liked Cheney's line, "how many additional American lives was Saddam worth. The answer--not that many." Too bad he didn't take his own advice from 1992.

Correction--he said "not very damn many."
