Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney Dies at 84

Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, aged 84, passed away due to complications from pneumonia and cardiovascular disease.

Cheney, a Republican stalwart, served as Vice President under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009.

He was a key figure in the decision to invade Iraq following the 9/11 attacks, despite later intelligence proving Saddam Hussein did not possess weapons of mass destruction. Cheney's influence extended beyond his official roles, earning him a reputation as a powerful and Machiavellian figure in U.S. politics.
