The Vice President had the guts and fortitude to stay the course and take Saddam out. To many people in both America and Europe and elsewhere seem to not understand the Saudi and other key players in the Mid East where quite grateful GWB decided to take out the Butcher of Baghdad.
The bastard and his minions where a destabilizing entity in a crucial part of the world. The Russians had a field day for to long in supporting the clown. Dick, Rummy and others along with the last president knew full well the importance of going after Saddam on a number of issues.
Saddam had every intention of revitalizing his nuclear program once the oil for food program and sanctions where lifted.
And it would be hard pressed for one to convince the world that he had no problem in sponsoring Islamic terror. Hell he bragged about it. Offered suicide bomber's families money if their sons went to Israel to blow up innocent people etc..
Dick along with George knew what had to be done. And they did it.
I salute Dick Cheney for his service to this country.
