I suspect that British soldiers would have no problem being around Cheney, but I could be wrong.
No way they are letting any armed Iraqi near him.

Lots of parades and state events in active war zones, saves money on fireworks when you can just light up an AK 47.
Having read the article in the link, it looks like they don't trust the leader of Iraq either, he did not know Cheney was there until they were face to face. I bet they filled the barrel of the refurbished tanks he was checking out with concrete, just in case.
You are willing to admit you don't know if troops would be in the area of the VP, but then there is no way they let an armed Iraqui near him. Would you admit there is noticeable bias in the article linked, or would you be disingenuous about that too?
