This YouTube clip was brought to my attention by Mary Ann Akers' 'Sleuth' column on the Washington Post. Wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't watching it myself.
It's a minute-long clip of Dick Cheney in 1994, just after he was defense secretary under Daddy Bush, giving some pretty damn good reasons why Daddy Bush was right to stop the first Gulf War before the US took Baghdad.
I could go on about this but you really need to see it for yourself. What's truly terrifying about this bit is the precision with which he saw this nightmare coming, and went through with it anyway.
