“Once you got to Iraq and took it over, and took down [the] government, then what are you going to put in its place? … If you take down the central government of Iraq you can easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off -- part of it the Syrians would like to have to the west, part of eastern Iraq the Iranians would like to claim ... in the north you’ve got the Kurds. If the Kurds spin loose and join with the Kurds in Turkey then you threaten the territorial integrity of Turkey. It’s a quagmire...” Prophetic words from Dick Cheney in 1994. Pity he didnt heed them himself a decade or so later. What evidence is there that this war wont end as disastrously as the two previous ones?
