The idea that Iraq is going to be an ally of Iran is also rubbish. They fought an 8 year war killing millions. They have different cultures, languages, and history. Cheney was right on the mark mentioning that if Saddam were still in power and Iran was moving towards the development of nuclear weapons, there is no way Saddam would sit idly by and not respond with his own program.
Cheney rocks. They really ought to get him out there more often.
This give & take in this interview on Meet the (De)Press(ed) should give one pause to think how scary it could have been if John Edwards was VeeP
I sure do wish Cheney would reconsider and run for President in 2008.
