It's really pathetic isn't it. All these Neo-Cons apparently thought it was still 1953 and they could just put their own guy into Iraq and it would all be great. Bush was out there saying he wanted Democracy everywhere in the Middle East without apparently having ANY idea of what that would mean. And Cheney was probably running everything... Cheney made TWO of the dumbest comments in the last 10 years on national television. 1. In 2005 or so he said, "Reagan proved that deficits DON'T matter". 2. In 2003 or so he said, "The people of Iraq will probably be throwing flowers at our troops". How moronic were these guys?
