Vice President Dick Cheney fought furiously to block efforts by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to strike a controversial US compromise deal with North Korea over the communist state's nuclear programme, the Telegraph has learned.

"The exchanges between Cheney's office and Rice's people at State got very testy. But ultimately Condi had the President's ear and persuaded him that his legacy would be stronger if they reached a deal with Pyongyang," said a Pentagon adviser who was briefed on the battle.

Mr Cheney's office is believed to have played a key role in the release two months ago of documents and photographs linking North Korea to a suspected nuclear site in Syria that was bombed by Israeli jets last year.

3. N Korea's nuclear capability has nothing to do with our "safety".

In fact, they are a threat to no one in particular.

Hell, their people are still eating grass.

If they ever had the insane temerity to strike anyone, they would be instantly glassed - obliterated.

4. it's all a pile of horseshit

5. Cheney is no longer favored by Busholini or the Bush Crime Family

The puppet strings were cut over a year ago. Cheney had become an embarrassment to the Busholini Regime with his constant blatant lies & his overt greed for more power & money.

6. So just why is impeachment still off the table?

We are a rogue country endangering the rest of the world. How safe is that?
