The quagmire he predicted in '94 is the reality now. All that he said would happen have happened. So why did Dick the VP forgot what he said as Dick the former secretary of defence? Amnesia brought on by advancing years?
Iraq has always been the Balkans of the middle-east. It was a quagmire for the Ottoman Turks, then the UK and now, the US. And I doubt America can quit it within the foreseeable future. I guess very soon, they will have to bring back the draft to get more troops into Iraq and to support future operations in hot spots that may spring up suddenly in the rest of the world.
