Cheney says rise in Iraq violence timed to influence elections

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney said today the increase of violence in Iraq is linked with efforts to influence the outcome of midterm elections in which Republicans are struggling to keep control of Congress.

“It’s my belief that they’re very sensitive of the fact that we’ve got an election scheduled and they can get on the Web sites like anybody else,” Cheney said. He said al-Qaida and other elements were trying to “break the will of the American people” because “they think we don’t have the stomach for the fight long-term.”

Asked if the attacks were timed to influence the U.S. elections, Cheney said, “That’s my belief.”

Eight days before the elections, Cheney sat down for interviews for Fox News Channel’s `Your World with Neil Cavuto’ and CNBC’s “Kudlow & Company.”
