Cheney wants people to have open mind about Iraq

Picphoto080107cheney During his interview on Larry King Live, Dick Cheney contradicted himself in a matter of seconds.  When asked whether the troop surge was working, the Vice President bragged that he had been on the right side from the very beginning, and then challenged Democrats to have an open mind.  How modest of him:

Q    You don't know what to expect, though, do you?  Or do you?

THE VICE PRESIDENT:  Well, I think it's going to show that we will havemade significant progress.  The reports I'm hearing from people whoseviews I respect indicate that indeed the Petraeus plan is in factproducing results.

Now, admittedly, I've been on one side of this argument from the verybeginning.  I urge people to have an open mind, to listen to GeneralPetraeus when he comes back, but also look at what others have to say.

In other words, I was right, you were wrong.  But please, if at all possible, have an open mind -- because if it were the other way around, you know I would do the same.
