A Tough Fight Still Looms, Cheney Warns G.I.’s in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Friday, May 11 — Vice President Dick Cheney spoke Thursday to American troops stationed near Saddam Hussein’s birthplace, Tikrit, telling them in somber tones that they were the front line in the fight against global terrorism and making no promise that an end was in sight.

“We are here, above all, because the terrorists who have declared war on America and other free nations have made Iraq the central front in that war,” his prepared text said.

His assessment was a stark contrast to the one he made two years ago when he declared in an interview on CNN that the insurgency was in its “last throes.”
