BAGHDAD, March 17 (UPI) -- Exceptional change has occurred in Iraq in the 10 months since his last visit, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday.
"I can sense as a result of the progress that's been made since then that there have been some phenomenal changes, in terms of the overall situation, both with respect to the security situation ... as well as with respect to political developments here in Iraq," Cheney said during a public appearance with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
