That was only one of the points Cheney raised in 1994. It wasn't going to be any less of a "quagmire" if the U.S. had other nations involved in the military effort.

The whole issue of whether the U.S. was "going in alone" of if it was part of a multi-national force was complete bullsh!t, anyway. The U.S. did not need military assistance from any other country in any of these military campaigns -- which means the multi-national aspect of them was nothing more than a political measure to somehow make these military campaigns more acceptable to Americans.

Rule #1 for me on this is: Don't ever expect me to take you seriously if you're going play political games with military engagements.

That was the only point in the video. Don't ever expect me to take you seriously if you're going play political games with military engagements.

I'll grant you that, don't tie the hands of our military with unnecessary "rules of engagement"! Bring it back to at least WW2 level.
