[kskiska]

BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney congratulated U.S. troops for helping give democracy a chance to take root in Afghanistan.

``For the first time the people of this country are looking confident about the future of freedom and peace,'' Cheney told a group of soldiers Tuesday morning at Bagram Air Base, just hours before a ceremony to inaugurate President Hamid Karzai.

Cheney was leading a U.S. delegation that included Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad.

``The dictatorship that harbored the most vicious terrorist network in history is now history,'' Cheney said.

"The dictatorship that harbored the most vicious terrorist network in history is now history," Cheney said.


Another quote to keep in mind, for the next time Dick Cheney denies ever having specifically said that Hussein was in league with Al Qaeda.
