Excerpt:
Answering growing criticism in the U.S. and Australia, he defended the Iraq war as a “remarkable achievement” in one speech, and dismissed suggestions his influence in Washington is waning.
At a news conference Saturday, Cheney warned that “all options” are on the table if Iran continues to defy U.N.-led efforts to end Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, leaving the door open to military action.
Cheney’s support for the Iraq war — he is considered one of the key proponents of the 2003 invasion — drew protesters into Sydney’s streets for two days.
Cheney: ‘There Does Not Appear To Be A Consensus’ That Global Warming Is ‘Caused By Man’

Excerpt:
In its latest report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded it was “very likely†— or more than 90 percent probable — that human activities led by burning fossil fuels explained most of the warming in the past 50 years.
Continuing the Bush administration’s long resistance to the science of global warming, Vice President Dick Cheney said today a consensus is lacking on whether global warming is caused by human activity. From an interview with ABC:
Cheney added later in the interview, “I don’t know. I’m not a scientist.†But he appears comfortable enough in his knowledge to suggest that the scientists are all wrong.
