In Chaney’s defense, he stated if we went in alone, which we didn’t in 2003.

Correct. Our effort was never unilateral as the media brainwashed the sheeple into.believing.

The vote in Congress was bipartisan...the UN was onboard and all Intel from various countries pointed to WMD. Plus it was Clinton who.issued the Iraqi Liberation Act not.Bush.

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.
