Interesting
The Washington Post's reporting on how the Cheney "invading Iraq would be a quagmire" video surfaced is interesting. There was a lot of providence involved.
Posted at August 18, 2007 03:25 PM | TrackBackI may be remembering wrong, but I think the general gist of what cheney said was covered prior to the start of the war of aggression. Well, covered in the alternative press, not the corporate press.

Posted by: Mike Meyer at August 18, 2007 07:07 PMthe producer was just looking for something mildly interesting to help fill the 12-hour Cheney marathon planned by C-SPAN 3.
Isn't this sort of thing prohibited by the Geneva Convention?
Posted by: SteveB at August 18, 2007 08:53 PMYes, sounds like C-SPAN's memory hole does need an upgrade.
The cable TV industry is to blame here for not providing adequate financing; I'm sure appropriate measures are being taken as we speak.

Isn't it wierd that when Saddam actually had all that WMD and was in a position to use it they scarcely mentioned it - then when it was all gone it became the biggest threat to mankind in and beyond all of the Middle East?
