Cheney changed his view on Iraq - He said in '92 Saddam not worth U.S. casualties
[http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/192908_cheney29.html]
Charles Pope and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer just don't get it.
Pope says, "Dick Cheney more than a decade ago defended the decision to leave Saddam Hussein in power after the first Gulf War, telling a Seattle audience that capturing Saddam wouldn't be worth additional U.S. casualties or the risk of getting `bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq.'"
Really? I wonder what changed Cheney's mind? Could 3000 dead Americans and the newly adopted doctrine of preemption have something to do with it?
Charles, your grasping at straws man...
