Cheney: WMD or not, Iraq invasion was correct

In the build-up to the U.S. invasion in 2003, Bush and other administration leaders argued that Saddam should be removed from power because he had stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and was actively seeking to build a nuclear weapon.
Subsequent investigations concluded that he did not have such weapons, and in an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Cheney acknowledged that, “clearly, the intelligence that said he did was wrong.”

Cheney also said he was wrong when he said shortly before the invasion that U.S. forces would be “greeted as liberators.” Instead, more than three years later, violent resistance to the U.S.-backed government in Baghdad continues, and more than 2,600 U.S. service members have been killed.
“No doubt, we did not anticipate that the insurgency would last this long,” Cheney said. The United States must stay the course, however, because while the situation is “difficult,” it is significantly better, he said.
