From Deseret News archives:
Congress won't prevail, Cheney says
Cheney didn't mention the war during his speech but he had plenty to say about it in an exclusive interview before he addressed the crowd at BYU.
The Deseret Morning News sat down with the vice president for a brief question-and-answer session in the moments between his arrival at the Marriott Center and the start of commencement.
DMN: The House and now the Senate have voted for a war spending bill that requires that troops be pulled out by Oct. 1. The president has said he will veto the bills. What is your reaction?
DMN: How will the impasse end?
Cheney: Well, there'll have to be another bill passed. The troops are still in the field, still in combat, still need the funds. I think there is a majority in Congress in both houses to pass a clean bill that's acceptable to the president.
DMN: Dana Perino (a White House spokesperson) said today the president is determined to win in Iraq. Is the surge working, and will it ultimately be successful?
