2. "It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."

Prewar predictions coming back to bite

March 16, Vice President Cheney, on NBC's Meet the Press: "I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly, . . . (in) weeks rather than months."

4. You are googling the wrong terms
Try CAKEWALK and "greeted with flowers and sweets." Odds are you will get better results.

5. I have a better one, from 1999, speaking to an oil industry convention.
Cheney said "we'd like to see gas prices in the US at $3.00 per gallon."

Well, he did it.

9. Unfortunately no, it was well known during the 2000 campaign
I have googled for it recently with no luck, I will try again now.
