Dick: "who cares what you think?"

The VP's breathtaking arrogance on Iraq and the loss of thousands --

Cheney doesn't spend a lot of time talking with the press, and his interview on ABC's Good Morning America Wednesday showed why. When a reporter noted that two-thirds of Americans say it's not worth fighting in Iraq because the cost in lives exceeds the gains, Cheney's grinning response was a dismissive, "So?"

Cheney, in particular, has long since squandered his standing to criticize others on this subject. On March 16, 2003, three days before the invasion, he was asked on NBC's Meet the Press whether an invasion might not unleash "a long, costly and bloody battle with significant American casualties."

"Well, I don't think it's likely to unfold that way," he replied, "because I really do believe that we will be greeted as liberators." Two years later, he said on CNN's Larry King Live that the Iraqi insurgency was "in the last throes."
