Not 9/11 that's for sure. He's known all along Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. So what changed his mind about the chances of success in Iraq? What he said in 1994 is exactly what has come about. What events happened in the world to make his original stance about invading Iraq change so drastically? Really interested in thoughts from both sides of the aisle. Thanks.

I don't think the chance of success really factored into the equation for Cheney. And I don't think success is relevant to him now. With all that he stands to gain personally, he really can't lose. I think the man is a self-serving opportunist. Him and his cronies saw an opening after 9/11 and they took it. Money, power, position in the Middle East, these were things they've always sought, 9/11 gave them license.

It's about his company Halliburton, which has made about a bazillion dollars from the Iraq war.

A power trip, and war profiteering.

The power went to his head, and he thought he could get away with murder.
