In response to "Do you think the American people are prepared for a long, costly, and bloody battle with significant American casualties?":
"Well, I don't think it's likely to unfold that way, because I really do believe that we will be greeted as liberators. I've talked with a lot of Iraqis in the last several months myself, had them to the White House.... The read we get on the people of Iraq is there is no question but what they want to get rid of Saddam Hussein and they will welcome as liberators the United States when we come to do that."Dick Cheney
