KING: When do we leave?…You expect it in your administration?

D. CHENEY: I do.

KING: To be removed. It’s not going to be — it’s not going to be a 10-year event?

D. CHENEY: No. I think we may well have some kind of presence there over a period of time. But I think the level of activity that we see today, from a military standpoint, I think will clearly decline. I think they’re in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.
