Following his graduation from high school, in 1959, Cheney enrolled at Yale University, in New Haven, Connecticut, on a full scholarship, only to drop out after just four semesters. "I wasn't a serious student," he told Jeanette Smyth for the Washington Post (April 4, 1976). "I never buckled down."
In keeping with his evident need to distort reality, Cheney tells The Politico something astounding:
Cheney said that by the middle of January 2009, it will be clear that “we have in fact achieved our objective in terms of having a self-governing Iraq that’s capable for the most part of defending themselves, a democracy in the heart of the Middle East, a nation that will be a positive force in influencing the world around it in the future.”
All of that by 2009? “Yes, sir,” he replied.
Recall that this is the same mind that told us in May 2005 that the insurgency was in its "last throes."
