Foresight is not my best quality, but hindsight I have plenty of ...
Iraq was a wise move in many respects ... I am so sorry for the thousands of US and allied troops that died and were maimed or injured, but in hindsight they did a valuable service to America.
A certain crazy indvidual, Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, with a small nuclear weapon was going to destroy America and then blame the crazyman of Iraq President Saddam Hussein, but the Gulf war of August 1990 caused all of that to change.
Both Presidents named Bush have Chenny to thank ... I know I do.
No proof, no links, nothing I will admit to, but true never less.
They were friends of course:

Saddam Hussein has made secret plans for his family and leading members of his regime to be given political asylum in Libya in the event of a war with America or a successful internal coup in Baghdad.
The extraordinary steps taken by the Iraqi leader to provide an exit strategy for key relatives and associates, which includes paying $3.5 billion into Libyan banks, provide the first evidence that Saddam is now facing up to the prospect of being toppled from power.
Even as he makes public statements of defiance and vows to defend his country against an American invasion, The Times has learnt that Saddam’s secret emissaries have been visiting Libya and Syria to ensure that there is an escape route for his family and top cronies.
The deal with Tripoli does not include providing refuge for Saddam or for Uday, his eldest son

Obama himself may have a few secrets, but instead of lying like they now out and out say that Chenny did, they call it talking points
