But as you noted, Iraqi "society" is quite different from Japanese and German society. Any Middle east expert could have told Bush that. Heck, anyone who has traveled through the region could have told Bush that.

See Post #45. Dick Cheney told Bush that. It would be comical if it wasn't so f#%&ing pathetic.

"It's a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq." -- Dick Cheney, U.S. Secretary of Defense, April 15, 1994

That's a very, very interesting quote. And it makes one wonder. If Cheney felt that way in 1994, did he still feel that way in 2003?
