Dirty Dick is a sage, a mind reader, a future teller, he knew exactly what would happen, but he went in anyway 10 years later.

Obviously the Bush administration knew all the risks they'd encounter if Iraq were invaded. Cheney's scenario pretty much played out as he sketches out in this speech. Why in God's name did we invade Iraq? Unfortunately, I think it comes down to money. The economy wasn't doing well, and wars are good for the economy. Republicans attacked Clinton for taking action in the Balkans, exactly the same argument. Being the former CEO of Haliburton, biggest contractor in Iraq was no coincidence.

He wouldn't have gotten his Haliburton dividends if he did!

They didn't want to turn Iraq into a Chaotic system where Iran could or would gain influence. Iraq was always there as a counter weight to Iranian power and influence in the region. So Saddam was there to counter Iran. Who they, and a lot of Americans, look at an enemy. We believe that they hate us and want to destroy us. So One evil to counter the other.
