Over the weekend, a clip arrived on YouTube of Dick Cheney circa 1994 describing why invading and occupying Iraq would be a bad idea.
Clearly, this is the evidence we have been looking for as proof of time travel. Here’s my theory:
I imagine that Future Dick Cheney will procure a time machine in order to stop 2002 Dick Cheney from ordering encouraging President Bush to invade Iraq. Future Dick Cheney identifies the interview 1994 Dick Cheney gave to the American Enterprise Institute as the point in which history can be changed if he says what he knows now vs. what he knew then. If you think of the string web inside Isaac Mendez’s apartment on NBC’s drama series Heroes — then we’re on the same page.
But what this also proves is that you can’t change the future even with a time machine. Future Dick Cheney communicates to us through 1994 Dick Cheney speaking reason to truth on how to avoid mistakes of the past…err future. Unfortunately, no one bothered to revisit this speech (including 2002 Dick Cheney) until now, in 2007. The future remains unaltered.
