Cheney has no regrets over Iraq invasion
Suzanne Goldenberg in Washington
Thursday May 4, 2006
The Guardian

Three years into the war that has come to define the legacy of the Bush administration Dick Cheney, the vice-president, has said he has no regrets about the decision to invade Iraq.

Mr Cheney's refusal to admit to doubts about going to war highlights his isolation from an administration which has demonstrated a degree of candour about Iraq, as well as the rest of the country where only 37% approve of the White House's handling of the conflict. Mr Cheney has even less support; his approval ratings have dipped below 20%. But in an interview to appear in June's Vanity Fair magazine, he remained a picture of certitude.

***

Asked whether in his "darkest nights" he ever doubted the decision to go to war, he said: "I think what we've done has been what needed to be done."

***

Although Mr Cheney has suffered four heart attacks, there are hardline Republicans who would like him to run for president. But in recent months his power appears to be waning and he is increasingly viewed as a liability.

In the interview Mr Cheney acknowledged that he had image problems, but appeared disinclined to repair that image. "My image might be better out there, this caricature you talk about might be avoided, if I spent more time as a public figure trying to improve my image, but that's not why I'm here," he said.

1. For me, the word "liability" doesn't cover it.
"Abomination" is closer.

3. No regrets that he's going down as the worst piece of shit
ever to stink up the White House? Bully for him. He's probably counting on there not being enough of a future for anyone to take note of what a vile excretion he was beyond a generation or so.

4. Why would he have any regrets????
He didn't lose a thing and in fact he financially prospered to the tune of millions. Didn't they use to call these hogs War Profiteers?

6. He's trashed the whole world - we'll never recover from his destruction
But he won't live long enough to see what he's done. His grandchildren can thank him for it, though.
