Cheney: Lives Lost In Iraq Were Worth It

cheneysSpeaking with Lehrer on PBS, Dick Cheney showed no remorse for the lives lost in Iraq.  Via Think Progress.


Q: But Mr. Vice President, getting from there to here, 4,500 Americans have died, at least 100,000 Iraqis have died. Has it been worth that?

 

CHENEY: I think so.

 

Q: Why?

 

CHENEY: Because I believed at the time what Saddam Hussein represented was, especially in the aftermath of 9/11, was a terror-sponsoring state so designated by the State Department. … He had produced and used weapons of mass destruction, chemical and biological agents. He’d had a nuclear program in the past. … And he did have a relationship with al Qaeda. [...]

 

And so I think given the track record of Saddam Hussein, I think we did exactly the right thing. I think the country is better off for it today.
