Hmmmm....I didn't believe this until I saw this clip.... Dick Cheney predicted the future and was still intent on staying the course -- arranging for Halliburton and friends to profit off the casualties of war (watch the film, Iraq for Sale, and you'll know what I'm talking about).

Here's the aforementioned clip. In this interview from April 15th, 1994, Dick Cheney reveals the reasons why invading Baghdad and toppling Saddam Hussein wouldn't be a great idea. He also stipulates that "not very many" American soldiers' lives were worth losing to take out Saddam during the Gulf War.

(Okay, I'm a rookie here, and still catching up on my Randi Rhodes fix since moving to an area where I didn't get to listen daily. This topic may have been discussed already, but I don't understand why VERY FEW MEDIA PLAYERS have made light of this clip.)
