None of the Moslem countries would support such action

No none of them liked our invasion including Turkey and did not support our action with ANY military nor did we use those countries as a base of operations.

"i haven't seen any pieces fling off. i think all of the land is still there."

For all practical purposes the Kurds have done just that which is one of the areas Cheney mentioned in 1994.


this would be true in any war.


Cheney said Saddam was not worth many American deaths. What do you call 3,600 dead and 27,000 injured?


again we are not the only country involved here.


Except for England, all the other countries provided VERY LITTLE help and then only under pressure!


The point is the complete reversal of the arguments Cheney made in 1994 to NOT invade Iraq. EVERY reason he used has come true.

DID you watch the Clip?

Hey gene, I can provide clips and transcripts showing democrats giving reasons TO INVADE IRAQ. I bet you won't be so quick to post those, will you? I saw this hit the far left websites, and was waiting you to follow their talking points.

I'm sorry when did the Kurds leave the country. last i heard they had just joined a new attempt to get the government back up off the ground.






so your saying all of our tanks entered the country in a 5 mile beach landing.

That is not the issue. We have Cheney correctly stating the reasons why the U.S. SHOULD NOT invade Iraq in 1994 and today he tells us just the opposite” after we have the proof that what he said in 1994 was correct! Does the man not remember what he said in 1994? Does he not know that things public officials say are recorded and can be replayed? He looks like a COMPLETE IDIOT!!!!!

i will leave it up to you island dog sink him

We invaded from turkey and Kuwait.

Turkey refused at the last minute which caused a big problem for the 4th Division which was to enter Iraq from Turkey in the North. To the best of my knowledge, only Kuwait allowed us to operate from their country. In fact the major Air FORCE CENTER IN SAUDIA ARABIA WAS NOT available to U.S. Forces for the invasion. Do not kid yourself almost ALL of the Moslem Countries opposed our invasion just as Cheney said in 1994!

why would we invade from egypt. I listed them because they also opposed our invasion!

Turkey allows US to use its territory: Supplies for troops in Northern Iraq

ANKARA, April 2: US Secretary of State Colin Powell on Wednesday secured Turkish logistical support for US operations in northern Iraq, and again warned Ankara against sending troops over the border into the Kurdish-held region.

“We have solved all the outstanding issues with respect to providing supplies through Turkey to those units” in northern Iraq, Mr Powell told reporters at a joint news conference with Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul.

The agreement came after weeks of bilateral tension triggered by the Turkish parliament’s refusal last month to allow the deployment of 62,000 US soldiers to open a “northern front” against Iraq — a move that, military strategists say, might have helped to shorten the war and minimize casualties.

Mr Powell said Washington was “disappointed” by the rejection, but he described Turkey as an “important member” of the coalition against President Saddam Hussein and praised its decision to open its airspace to US planes.

A senior Turkish official said the agreement between the two sides included the passage of humanitarian aid through Turkey, as well as food, medical supplies and fuel supplies for the US troops airlifted or parachuted into northern Iraq.



your right 62,000 men entering iraq from turkey is defently turkey saying you can't use our territory.

Turkey DID NOT ALLOW U.S. Forces to attack Iraq from their territory! They did not support our invasion of Iraq! This despite a huge offer of Cash to allow us to invade Iraq from Turkey. It was the source of great difficulty between the U.S. and Turkey.

EVERYTHING Cheney said in that 1994 Interview was true and he looks like an ass today telling us we did the right thing to invade Iraq after explaining correctly why we should NOT invade Iraq.

Last night on Hardball one of the Bushies claimed 9/11 changed Cheney's mind about invading Iraq. Chris Matthews ended that BS by reminding the viewers that NONE of the reasons Cheney gave NOT to invade Iraq in 1994 was changed by 9/11 and that Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. If Bush and Cheney were in office on December 8, 1941, they would have attacked China after we were attacked by Japan. After all it is the same area of the world and they are both Asian.

no they would have declared war on Germany. oh wait we did that. why would they declare war on china. we already had troops on the ground in china. or did you forget about the flying tigers. sir i am a lot younger than you and i remember that they were there.
