Cheney lists several compelling reasons for not invading Iraq.

Well I am sure most people following events as they unfold in Iraq will have seen or heard of the 1994 video of Dick Cheney spelling out why invading Iraq would be a bad idea. He makes a very good case! The deperessing thing about it is that everything he prerdicts in the video came to pass, pretty much.



Dick Cheney points out:
- Invading would mean a US occupation of Iraq "on its own" without the support of neighboring Arab States
- Toppling Saddam would cause Iraq to fragment in to sectarian violence. (A "quagmire" he calls it).
- It would cause many casualties, more than getting rid of Saddam "would be worth".

Someone has made a video which compares his warning to what has transpired.



It makes it even harder to support the administration when faced with documentary evidence like this.
