I agreed with Dick Cheney!

There is a thread about this already but it shows how well informed Cheney was back then. Who knows, maybe he IS Satans older Brother. :D

Non-sense. If Cheney was Satan's older brother, he would have wiretapped Satan's phone, shot Satan in the face, and invaded hell by now.

In Jon Stuart's show the Author of "Cheney" said that Cheney had similar speeches in 1992 and 1996 saying "pretty much the same thing" about Iraq and Saddam:

Does anyone know more about this, maybe transcripts of these speeches or something like that?
 
Even if I wonder why I'm the only one interested in this thread - in an interview on February 23, 2007, Dick Cheney said this concerning "quagmire":

Question: Back in 1991, you talked about how military action in Iraq would be the classic definition of a quagmire. Have you been disturbed to see how right you were? Or people certainly said that you were exactly on target in your analysis back in 1991 of what would happen if the U.S. tried to go in --

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, I stand by what I said in '91. But look what's happened since then -- we had 9/11. We've found ourselves in a situation where what was going on in that part of the globe and the growth and development of the extremists, the al Qaeda types that are prepared to strike the United States demonstrated that we weren't safe and secure behind our own borders. We weren't in Iraq when we got hit on 9/11. But we got hit in '93 at the World Trade Center, in '96 at Khobar Towers, or '98 in the East Africa embassy bombings, 2000, the USS Cole. And of course, finally 9/11 right here at home. They continued to hit us because we didn't respond effectively, because they believed we were weak. They believed if they killed enough Americans, they could change our policy because they did on a number of occasions. That day has passed. That all ended with 9/11.

In Iraq, what we've done now is we've taken down Saddam Hussein. He's dead. His sons are dead. His government is gone. There's a democratically elected government in place. We've had three national elections in Iraq with higher turnout that we have in the United States. They've got a good constitution. They've got a couple hundred thousand men in arms now, trained and equipped to fight the good fight. They're now fighting alongside Americans in Baghdad and elsewhere. There are -- lots of the country that are in pretty good shape. We've got to get right in Baghdad. That's the task at hand. I think we can do it.

Quagmire II:

This is a Cheney-Speech back in 1992. What a wise
guy the VPOTUS is in sense of foresight concerning Iraq...

 
Isn't there anybody who cares about his own country - as to
what's going on behind the scenes?

What's going on behind the scenes in Germany, Oliver, other than a neo fascist clamp down on using full margins allowed by the forum software?
