Wisdom on Iraq

It's not really damning at all. 10 years and 9/11 can easily change a man's opinion in a big way.

So it's actually possible to change one's mind about an issue by applying new information to it? I.e. So he was against the war before he was for it. Unprecedented.

I'm wondering, however, what you think specifically occurred in those 11 years to make the inevitable mess in post-war Iraq (which they seemingly foresaw, but chose not to prepare for) worthwhile in Cheney's mind.

The Iraq-Al Qaeda link I suppose? The solid evidence on WMDS? Oh wait ...

Perhaps it was a regime that was isolated and weakened to the point where they didn't pose a credible threat to anyone? Oh wait ...

I suppose I should take solace in the fact that Cheney at least knew the difference between a Sunni and Shiite before he started killing them. Perhaps he could have shared this with Bush.
