Saudis warned Cheny of disasters that would follow an invasion

...and they were right!

Cheney didn't listen, but he didn't isten to State or Energy or anyone else, who told him anything he did not wish to hear.

Crazy, paranoid old fool!

Watching America:

"BBC World Affairs Editor John Simpson recently recalled an interview he conducted some three years ago with Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal, shortly before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. At the time, Prince Saud predicted the myriad disasters he believed would follow such an invasion: U.S. and British troops would be bogged down in Iraq for years; there would be civil war between Sunnis and Shiites.

'And what do the Americans say when you tell them this,' Simpson asked him. 'They don't even listen,' Prince Saud said. When Simpson asked Prince Saud why he thought the U.S. was so determined to invade Iraq, he said he had put the same question to Vice-President Dick Cheney who had replied: 'Because it's doable.' "
