Dick Cheney, with some 20-20 foresight:

"It would have been a US occupation of Iraq ... Once you ... took down Saddam Hussein's government, what are you gonna put in its place? ... It's a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq." – Dick Cheney, 1994

Except for the minor points about Syrian ambitions and underestimating British and Aussie loyalty, he sounds downright prescient.
