Interesting, but what he was warning about in that video is not what we're seeing today.  In 1994 he was speaking of external forces trying to tear Iraq appart for their own gain, which is not what we are dealing with today.  The "quagmire" that we refer to today is a fight between internal factions Sunni and Shia, not Syria, and Iran (though they are contributing aid to their respective sides).

You guys hear the words "Iraq" and "quagmire" but ignore every other word before, after and between.

You're comparing apples to oranges folks...

Somewhere in storage, making sure most of America's cognitive abilities weren't lonely.
