I know Dick Cheney has a bad heart, but does he suffer from memory loss as well?

In 1994, Dick was asked if American forces should have taken out Saddam in the first Gulf War.

His answer rings very true today. Did he forget about his 1994 concerns when Bush & company planned the present Iraqi invasion?

Take a look at his 1994 answers...

    Maybe he just changed his mind, the way George Bush Senior changed from pro-choice to anti-choice when Ronnie Reagan recruited him. I'm sure the lure of loads of power and a few greenbacks was too much for Darth Cheney to resist, so he "forgot" his 1994 (and 2000!) assessment of what would happen if we took out Saddam Hussein.

    I can't watch You Tube (dial-up), but if you mean his comment that invading Iraq would not be worth the loss of lives, etc... I saw him say it. CNN ran the clip. I don't remember it word for word, but he said it in the 90s.

    Oh, and yes, amnesia seems to be very contagious, especially in DC.
