Wishful thinking by James Taranto

If the Bush administration's policies really did keep us safe for 7½ years, then it stands to reason that the Obama administrations' policies may be endangering us now. Certainly that is how the public would see it in the event of another terrorist attack.

If that happens, heaven forbid, Obama will be seen to have failed in the most basic presidential duty, and the Bush administration will be vindicated. As inconceivable as it may seem today, the 2012 election may end up turning on national security. Republicans would be wise to nominate someone with both toughness and experience. Under such circumstances, it's hard to think of a better candidate--assuming, of course, that he could be persuaded to run--than Richard B. Cheney.

I really think that this crowd wishes for another terrorist attack.

1. Taranto is one of the Wall Street Urinal's very worst neocon op-ed writers.

He sucks hard enough to bend light, and has done for years. Not surprising that he'd adore Darth Cheney.

5. Well, Cheney might be an excellent choice.

Cheney/Palin - Guaranteed 25% of the popular vote, I'm sure.

6. I wonder whether Cheney was counting on McCain win

and then to be asked to be there as a special adviser.

He still does not realize that the elections were a mandate to change our regime.
