Anyone with any knowledge of Iraq knew that it would not be able to sustain itself if Suddamn Hussein was removed from power. Cheney is caught here in rare form, telling the common sense truth about what a US led invasion of Iraq would lead too.
So basically they knew what would happen, the trillions of dollars wasted, the thousands of US men killed and the MILLIONS of Iraqi civilians as this occupation turned quickly into a "quagmire". Yet they lied to the public to gain support and did it anyway.
Traitors.
