United States Vice President Richard Cheney gives a speech during graduation ceremonies at the West Point Military Academy in West Point, New York, May 31, 2003. The United States will not pursue deterrence or containment policies in its so-called war on terrorism but would instead seek to utterly destroy its enemies, Cheney said Saturday. In a speech to the 2003 graduating class of the U.S. Military Academy, Cheney also warned that the United States remained willing to use its military might against any nation supporting terrorists.
