Cheney blames 'miscalculation' for slow Iraq recovery <Vice President Dick Cheney said Thursday that he overestimated the pace of Iraq's recovery from the U.S.-led invasion because he didn't realize the lasting devastation wrought by Saddam Hussein on his people after the first Gulf War. "I would chalk that one up as a miscalculation, where I thought things would have recovered more quickly," Cheney said. Cheney, interviewed hours before he was to take the oath of office for his second term, also said that Iran now tops the list of "the world's potential trouble spots." Iran is pursuing "a fairly robust nuclear program" and has a history of sponsoring terrorism, he said. "That combination is of great concern." Cheney said the Bush administration might seek U.N. sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program if necessary. The administration prefers to address the problem with diplomacy and doesn't want more war in the Middle East, he said.> cnn.com No more war in the middle east? Gee Dick I thought George was saying "Bring em on" just a few months ago. And what about the juicy Halliburton contracts that would surely be let...no bid of course...and what about the war on terror? Heck Smoking guns and mushroom clouds...that kind of rhetoric would go further when dealing with Iran...cause they really are developing a nuke. I think the miscalculation Cheney is talking about is that they don't have enough troops to take on another war. I feel a draft...someone close the door. Maybe we will start to hear this administration begin to admit that mistakes were made after all... Orca
