Bushworld preview

I received my latest Amazon order in the mail yesterday. One of the books was Bushworld, by Maureen Dowd. I haven’t started reading it yet, but Justin found this gem as he skimmed through it:

Back in 1991, Bush I defense secretary Dick Cheney defended the decision not to go into Baghdad, saying that America would simply have installed a “puppet regime.” “How long would we have to stay there to keep this regime in power?” he said. “How effective would it be if it were perceived as the puppet regime of the United States military?” It gets to be a very difficult, a very nebulous, a very long, drawn-out kind of commitment, what I would describe as a quagmire. We have absolutely no interest in getting U.S. military forces involved inside Iraq.”

You don’t say.
