I don't pay much attention to Cheney anymore, but I do like this piece of news. In 2004, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer ran a story about a Dick Cheney contradiction. Though the vice-present was one of the most ardent supporters of the Iraq War (on the grounds that they had weapons of mass destruction), in 1992 the then Secretary of Defense spoke out clearly and plainly against deposing Saddam Hussein.
The video from YouTube:

This is the legacy we have built for ourselves in the Middle East. Obama's recent speech in Cairo is a good step, but we will be judged for our actions.
