Cheney: Iraq war will end before 2009 Well, that's optimistic. So, around 4 more years of war then?
The vice president said he expected the war would end during President Bush's second term, which ends in 2009. Leaving a tangled, bloody mess for the next president to attempt to clean up.
"America will be safer in the long run when Iraq, and Afghanistan as well, are no longer safe havens for terrorists or places where people can gather and plan and organize attacks against the United States," he said. This has to be the stupidest rationalization I've ever heard. By this logic, America is going to have to invade every country in the world to insure there are no 'safe havens' for terrorists.
I should probably cross post this in
