"And the question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam worth?
And the answer is not very damned many. So I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the president [Bush Sr.] made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq."
~ Dick Cheney, Former Secretary of Defense of the United States, 1992
American casualties in Iraq to date: 2683
Americans wounded in Iraq to date: 19945
