In an assessment that differs sharply with his view today, Dick Cheney more than a decade ago defended the decision to leave Saddam Hussein in power after the first Gulf War, telling a Seattle audience that capturing Saddam wouldn't be worth additional U.S. casualties or the risk of getting "bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq."

Some reporter dug this up after Gulf War I, as it occured in a low-key press conference. Wonder what's really changed from then and now that made Cheney pull a 180 on the whole issue of Iraq . White house and the Bush camp refused to comment when initially contacted.

Bet the Democrats will start using this to counter all the 'Kerry Flip/Flop' claims from the Bush camp...
