Cheney in Iraq

Vice president Cheney made today a surprise visit to Iraq. The president of Iraq Jalal Talabani said that Cheney was a "hero for liberating Iraq".

It is really great that someone thinks Cheney is a hero. Afterall, so many people were calling Cheney a "chickenhawk" for avoiding to serve in the Vietnam war when he was young. Now, at least, someone recognizes him as a heroic figure.

But I am wondering, if Talabani thinks so highly of Cheney, why does n't he keep him in Iraq? Like, offer him a job there? Yes, make him the Vice-president of Iraq and have him move there. That would be a great exchange that would be very good for the country. By country, I mean the USA of course.
