Dick Cheney's death a loss to the nation, says George W Bush

Former US President George W Bush referred to Dick Cheney as a loss to the nation after his death at 84, highlighting his role as a powerful US vice-president under Bush. Cheney, known for his controversial legacy as a key architect of the "war on terror" and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, was praised for his integrity and service by Bush and other political figures. Despite his significant impact on American foreign policy, Cheney's political career was marred by the Iraq War and his health struggles, including multiple heart attacks leading to a heart transplant.
