flag Former VP Dick Cheney, 84, dies from pneumonia and heart disease; key architect of post-9/11 policies and Iraq War.

flag Dick Cheney, former U.S. Vice President, has died at age 84 from complications of pneumonia and cardiac disease. flag He played a central role in shaping the Bush administration’s response to 9/11 and was a key advocate for the 2003 Iraq War, based on claims of weapons of mass destruction and links to terrorism—claims later discredited. flag His influence extended to controversial policies like warrantless surveillance and enhanced interrogation techniques. flag While praised by some for national security leadership, his legacy remains deeply divisive due to the war’s long-term consequences, including regional instability, civilian casualties, and damage to U.S. global reputation.
