Cheney Talks About Iraq, Miers With FNC

...

"I think we're going to get a good vote and a big turnout and we certainly hope and expect the constitution will be approved," Cheney said in an exclusive interview with FOX News' Brit Hume. "It's very significant event. When you think about the course of the time here in Iraq, it's vital we get constitution in place and follow that with national elections in December."

...

Cheney said more than 200,000 Iraqi troops have been trained and equipped and are taking on more and more professional capabilities, though Pentagon officials said two weeks ago that fewer than 1,000 of them are able to replace U.S. troops.

As the interview was conducted, Bush's deputy chief of staff and chief political advisor, Karl Rove (search), testified for the fourth — and final — time before a grand jury investigating who leaked the name of a CIA operative to reporters. Reporters have named Rove as a source, as well as Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby (search). But both men have said they may have learned of the operative, Valerie Plame (search), from other reporters, and have denied their comments about her were vindictive.

But the issue is so sensitive that Cheney wouldn't talk about anything related to it. Bush himself has refused to comment much on the topic, saying it's his policy to not comment on any ongoing investigation.

"Brit, I'm simply not at liberty to discuss the issue," Cheney said in the FOX News interview.
