"Incredible interview from 1994, in which Cheney foretells the disaster that would happen 9 years later with astonishing clarity. How could he be part of something that was so obvious a disaster waiting to happen? And a disaster he obviously was well aware of?"

Anyone defending Cheney's credibility should be reminded of this interview...
