He was probably over there to tell Petreaus to make some kind of border provocation with Iran, so they could get started on the bombing. That was inevitable after Petreaus' superior Fallon was forced to resign. Cheney (and Petreaus) are in no position to support the abortive Iraqi puppets' assault on Basra- no more troops. Nada.
