Former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney, architect of George W Bush’s “War on Terror,” has died at the age of 84.
Cheney served at Bush’s side for two terms between 2001 and 2009 and is known for expanding the powers of his role far beyond anything experienced by his 45 predecessors and for leading the U.S. into Iraq on what proved to be faulty intelligence concerning dictator Saddam Hussein’s nuclear capabilities in the aftermath of 9/11.
