Washington: US Vice President Dick Cheney said Iraq's aim for peace depends partly on how President-elect Barack Obama decides to pull out US forces from Iraq.

Cheney said on Thursday that "an irresponsible withdrawal now is exactly the wrong medicine."

Obama has said he wants US troops to completely withdraw from Iraq.

Cheney also said he sees no reason for President George W. Bush to pre-emptively pardon anyone at the CIA involved in harsh interrogations of suspected terrorists.
