Cheney: STAY THE COURSE!

[Bluebear]

Vice President Dick Cheney on Thursday offered sympathy to the families of fallen soldiers who face "irreplaceable" losses but insisted the Iraq war was worth fighting despite growing American unease.

Cheney spoke in Springfield, Missouri, the day after supporters of anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan held a series of candlelight vigils around the country to call attention to her demands for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

The vice president did not mention Sheehan, whose 24-year-old son Casey was killed in combat in Iraq, but in an address to veterans he spoke at length about the difficulties faced by families like Sheehan's...

Cheney reiterated Bush's stay-the course message, saying "perseverance" was a part of the U.S. military's history since the nation's founding.
"Iraq is a critical front in the war on terror, and victory there is critical to the future security of the U.S. and other free nations," Cheney said.
