The nine-hour visit had been kept under wraps for security reasons. Even Jafari expressed surprise when he showed up for what he thought was a meeting with the ambassador.

Cheney also spoke to U.S. troops and inspected Iraqi forces being trained to take over the fight against insurgents.

During an exchange with the vice president, Marine Cpl. Bradley Warren said: "From our perspective, we don't see much as far as gains" in the war. "I was wondering what it looks like from the big side of the mountain, how Iraq's looking."

"Well, Iraq's looking good," Cheney replied. "We've turned the corner. I think when we look back from 10 years hence, we'll see that the year '05 was in fact a watershed year here in Iraq."

why just they just take a virtual tour of the country.

He's only looking at the 'Green Zone'.

odds of you being both alive and out of prison in 10 years are about the same as the odds of a Democratic Iraq anytime in the first half of this century.

Great job Dickie!

n/t

That would be a good indicator of how well the training was going....if the trust was there.

No shit! I read this yesterday, the Iraqi troops were not allowed to have arms in cheney's presence!
Now there is some "lookin good" progress, no?

shows he is desperate. It is not his normal behavior. He looks like he needs to be propped up by some big shots in Afghanistan and Iraq.
