According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Vice President Dick Cheney was against the Iraq war before he was for it.
"In an assessment that differs sharply with his view today, Dick Cheney more than a decade ago defended the decision to leave Saddam Hussein in power after the first Gulf War, telling a Seattle audience that capturing Saddam wouldn't be worth additional U.S. casualties or the risk of getting 'bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq.'"
A transcript of Cheney's original remarks is available and shows he was very concerned about governing Iraq in a post-war environment. Say what you want about him; he had stunning foresight at one time.
The Carpetbagger Report notes Sen. John Edwards, who will debate Cheney next week, "was quick to pounce on the story," telling talk show host Don Imus this morning: "[Cheney] was against getting bogged down in Iraq before he was for it."
