Cheney again supporting Bush's status of forces agreement:
"The key opinion I would seek under these circumstances is -- obviously, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs isn't bad -- but I also want to know what the local commander thinks, what Ray Odierno believes, the four-star who now commands in Iraq. And as best I can tell, I think he does support this program.
It does meet our commitments that we made in the status of forces agreements to the Iraqis, and it leaves a residue of forces there after 2010 that would allow him to do whatever needs to be done before we get to the end of 2011, which is when all of the troops have to be out."

There is no prospect that Iraq is going to become a place where once again they produce weapons of mass destruction or support terrorists..."
