Cheney Says Troops Will Remain in Korea
After all the idiotic talk by President Roh, Vice President Cheney says the U.S. will stay in Korea until the job is done.
Quote:
"America's commitment to peace in the region, and to the security of our friends, is unbreakable," Cheney said during a commemoration ceremony at the Korean War Veterans Memorial.
"North Korea is a scene of merciless repression, chronic scarcity and mass starvation, with political prisoners kept in camps the size of major cities," said Cheney, who was the keynote speaker at the ceremony that drew a few hundred veterans and other observers despite a heat index of nearly 100 degrees. About half the chairs at the hourlong ceremony, held under open skies with no shade, sat empty.
"All of us look to the day when the light of freedom and progress covers all of Korea, and stability on the peninsula rests on a foundation of peaceful reconciliation," Cheney said. "Until then, stability and peace will be maintained by our great military alliance. Tens of thousands of American troops proudly serve in Korea today. We will maintain our presence there."
