Cheney on why not to invade Iraq

Kudos to MoveOn for finding this clip of Dick Cheney, in a 1994 interview, explaining why invading Iraq would be a horrible idea. It's very similar to the argument former national security advisor Brent Scowcroft made in his August 2002 Wall Street Journal op-ed "Don't Attack Saddam," except that Scowcroft never flip-flopped.
