Unfortunately Rand and others are / were right.

*I did and kinda do still support our reason for going into Iraq based on WND cat n mouse game and Saddam sending convoys of it into Syria.
Saddam killed 600,000 during his reign of tyranny.
However Iraq has once more proven caution that we should avoid foreign entanglements, and middle east scorpion nests.

Too bad the Dick Cheney of 2003 didn't have the wisdom of his predecessor 13 years earlier.
