Huffington Post speculates

Cheney In 2012? Some Key GOPers Aren't Kidding: "'But if the agenda turns to security, Obama is mired in a no-win mess in Afghanistan, and the Obama administration hasn't created a single job in four years after indebting the nation for generations, maybe Dick Cheney could run on a theme of 'Change'.'"

Reading up a little on the discussion of torture. I you start such a discussion with security concerns you very easily sneak in some torture for the security of the nation. However, which I prefer, you start with human decency for our civilization there are not many situations where torture would be warranted.

They are posing the question if Cheney would be back for the next presidential election at the Huffington Post. In some poll I saw Cheney had a 35% approval so he is more popular now than Bush was during the later time of his presidency, that, by the way, Cheney was part of. For those of you that read my post yesterday about what goes on here in Sweden, without terrorists, I think Obama's position of no torture is a very important one. Especially if it is extended to the non-terrorist realm as well. John McCain attacked Cheney the other day also on the torture issue. I would not be surprised that some of the car burnings we see here in Europe are due to the frustration of being manipulated from above with TTDE.

If Cheney have 35% approval in the US he does not have it abroad and it would probably be a bad decision to elect him president. Obama's paradigm is the better one for our present world situation. However, as you might remember a person like Newt Gingrich does not think in this way. John Bolton does not either but today in WSJ he did not say that Iran's nuclear installations should be bombed. He just stated that sanctions would not work and gave reasons for this. A large question mark on Iran in other words.
