I knew that Papa Chimpee knew it was a bad idea to go into Iraq. I just didn't know that Cheney was the one that was beating the defense of the non-invasion.

This REALLY is the proof that they really are going to kill us all in their power play. Look for quotes along the line of "Do you think it's possible for a President to retain power after the 2nd term is finished?"

4. He knew exactly what he was doing--it makes sense to my "chaos" theory,
which is what I believe the neocons are REALLY up to in the Middle East. Drives those oil prices sky-high, lots of contracts for defense companies, pit tribes and nations against each other by arming first this group, then that group, and then watch them weaken each other.

5. Sounds about right.
How much protection money did they demand of Saddam, anyway? I guess he didn't cough it up and we had to teach him a lesson.
