Dick Cheney Calls Iraq War A "Successful Endeavour"

US Vice-President Dick Cheney declared the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq a "successful endeavour" during a visit to Baghdad, on the same day a woman suicide bomber killed 40 people.

"If you look back on those five years it has been a difficult, challenging but nonetheless successful endeavour ... and it has been well worth the effort," Mr Cheney, an architect of the invasion, said after meeting Iraqi leaders.
