Cheney regrets 'every casualty' in Iraq 24/03/2008 08:18 JERUSALEM, March 24 (AFP)
US Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday said he regrets every US casualty in Iraq, after the American death toll in the five-year conflict reached 4,000.
"You regret every casualty, every loss. It may have a psychological effect on the public but it's a tragedy that we live in a kind of world where that happens," Cheney said in Israel, the latest stop on a nine-day regional tour.
The death toll of US soldiers in the Iraq conflict reached 4,000 after four troops were killed in a Baghdad bombing.
