Cheney tells troops US won't relent in Iraq

US Vice President Dick Cheney met with Japan’s emperor today and later flew to a US aircraft carrier where he told thousands of cheering American troops the US would not relent in the war on terror.

Mr Cheney, who arrived in Japan yesterday, was given a 19-gun salute as he boarded the USS Kitty Hawk and began his 20-minute address to about 4,000 troops in the hangar bay.
