Cheney Says Iraq Occupation a Success
By Tabassum Zakaria, Reuters
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday declared the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq a "successful endeavor" in a visit to Iraq that was overshadowed by a suicide bombing that killed at least 25 people.
"If you look back on those five years it has been a difficult, challenging but nonetheless successful endeavor ... and it has been well worth the effort," Cheney told a news conference in Baghdad after meeting Iraqi leaders.
The Iraq war is a major issue in the U.S. presidential campaign. As it enters it sixth year, the war has cost the U.S. economy $500 billion and seen nearly 4,000 U.S. soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis killed.
Shortly after Cheney spoke, a woman wearing a suicide vest blew herself up in a cafe in the southern holy Shi'ite city of Kerbala, killing 25 people and wounding 50, police and health officials said. Bombs in Baghdad killed four and wounded 13.
Cheney, an architect of the invasion, arrived as Republican presidential candidate John McCain was meeting Iraqi leaders as part of a Senate Armed Services Committee fact-finding mission.
"I was last in Baghdad 10 months ago and I sense that, as a result of the progress that has been made since then, phenomenal changes in terms of the overall situation," Cheney said after meeting Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
Cheney said there had been a "remarkable turnaround" in security after 30,000 extra troops were sent to Iraq last year to help reduce sectarian violence that threatened civil war.
Despite the improved security, however, some 4 million Iraqis are still displaced, and the International Committee of the Red Cross said in a report on Monday that millions were still deprived of clean water and medical care.
Like McCain, Cheney is in Iraq as part of a wider tour to the Middle East. Cheney will also visit Saudi Arabia, Jerusalem, the Palestinian territories, Turkey and Oman on a nine-day tour.
Both men have been staunch supporters of the U.S. troop build-up that Washington says helped drag Iraq back from the brink of all-out sectarian civil war between majority Shi'ites and minority Sunni Muslims who were dominant under Saddam.
"The surge is working," McCain, referring to the troop build-up, told CNN in an interview in Baghdad.

Cheney is a ghoul.
I would like to ask him where those WMD are that we sacrificed 4,000 American soldiers and a million Iraqis looking for.
From Mission Accomplished to a Five Year Occupation
How does Mission Accomplished and the Cake Walk, that led to five years of a brutal and devastating illegal occupation equate as a success?
“Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.”

Cheney and Success
DonP From the perspective of Cheney and Bush, the Iraq invasion has been a great sucess. Cheney and his family have made billions from their stock with Halliburton and the Bush familyhas made billions from pappa GHBs connections in the arms suppliers and the Carlyle Group. The greater sucess will be attained when Iraq allows U.S. Oil firms to develop and profit from the oil. Remember Halliburton is now in Kuwait and is providing oil field work throughout the ME. Billions of dollars are available for many years. Sucess? Hell yes. And not one member of Bush's or Cheneys family had to die to assure the family wealth.
"Success" is different for these traitors and war criminals
For them it means they haven't been caught, don't expect to be, and they get to keep the ill-gotten loot resulting from the their murderous Middle East rampage.
Hey Uncle Dick! How are those "last throes" of the insurgency going? You know, the ones you announced almost three years ago?
And remember way back in '94 when you said invading Iraq to oust Saddam was a bad idea? You even used the word "quagmire". Gee Uncle Dick, what happened to change your mind?
Go to hell, you fucking fraud.

Why Would Cheney Not Say That
As far as Cheney, Bush , Halliburton , Blackwater , Exxon and the war contractors are concern it is one of the biggest successful operations ever for them and their wealth.
