The vice president also praised the leadership style of President Bush.

"I've watched him make decisions and set the strategy," Cheney said. "I've seen a man who is calm and deliberate, comfortable with responsibility."

He added, "As a result, America's friends know they can trust and America's enemies know they must fear the leadership of President George W. Bush."
