Oh, the irony

Its interesting to see how ideas and stances change in ten years. Was Cheney betting that everyone would forget what he said back in 94? Probably. How could he predict that over a decade later, his interview and clear stance on Iraq circa 1994 would be on YouTube, in plain view for everyone to see.

There's really no need for an explanation for this video, because the irony is so potent. Even back then when it was perhaps a better and easier option to invade Iraq, Cheney states that its not worth the casualties. Him stating that "for the 146 Americans who were killed in action and their families, it was not a cheap war". The number "146" seems so minuscule in relation to the Iraqi occupation casualties today.
