From a 2005 interview:
Q: Do you think that you underestimated the insurgency’s strength?
Cheney: I think so, umm I guess, the uh, if I look back on it now. I don’t think anybody anticipated the level of violence that we’ve encountered….
But in a 1994 video, Cheney did predict a "quagmire"

Do you think he forgot what might happen?

I don't think anyone watched the video. It's very short. And, yes, I remember.

He suffers from what many liars suffer from.He can't remember all his bullshiat,so he tends to contradict himself quite often.

No, I think he realized that an Iraq occupation was a necessity. They did not have the political support to do it in the first gulf war, so they had to try again.
