In this Frontline production known as The Dark Side you can learn all about Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld and their contributions to the Iraq war and subsequent occupation.
Diplomatic infighting
It is sad to consider that Mr. Cheney is as wrong today as the CIA was about the collapse of Russia. It is doubly sad to reflect that the CIA was wrong then for the same reason Mr. Cheney is wrong now, namely a slavish devotion to an agenda.
We will not, it appears, be welcomed as liberators in Iraq anytime soon.
Iraq did not, it appears, manufacture thousands of tons of WMDs.
And Dick Cheney did not, it appears, learn a valuable lesson from a catastrophic miscalculation. He instead drove those who were right out and rewarded the patronizing.
A problem with that approach is that the unimaginative do not generate creative ideas.
It is a story that has already been told in Russia.
