"Just three days before Bush gave orders to fire the first cruise missile, Vice President Dick Cheney was on television suggesting that a war would "go relatively quickly" and wrap up in "weeks rather than months."

Here we go again. After some research last week, it's been determined that it was X-42 who was touring the world with such comments, as can be evidenced by the quote from an NPR March 6th interview below. (Just one of many such examples.)

Not that I expected AP to report anything close to the truth!

"If conflict does come, Clinton said, he thinks a war could be "over in a week" because of what he sees as the overwhelming capability of U.S. forces and the depletion of Iraq's military strength.

"I think it's important to disarm this man, I think he's a bad fella, but our military superiority is so great -- it's far greater than it was in the Gulf War, and the Gulf War was over in 100 hours after we bombed for 43 days," Clinton said. "And so now they can bomb for a couple of days and then just roll into Baghdad. His military is less than half the strength it was 12 years ago and ours is more sophisticated and better and more modern."

He sounds like he'd be a sucker at the race track.

He must have learned to be so carelessly optimistic from his Mother.
