Obama should nominate Dick Cheney as Ambassador to Afghanistan...
He could visit Wiziristan and negotiate with the Taliban. Since he has so much experience with the area, he should be able to resolve the conflict rather quickly? The President should offer him this position since he is so interested in the security of our country. All he could do is say "No"...

2. He'd probably enjoy the opportunity to shoot more people in the face
as long as they aren't shooting back.

13. Lynne is the nasty wife who seems to have retired from TV Commentary
which is good because I still have nightmares about the BS she flung during '04 election.

Liz is the nasty spawn.

4. There are those who feel that Cheney actually catalyzed 9/11 with his visit.
He played hard ball and pissed them off.

11. Not a bad idea, but how about Pakistan instead?
He could personally help fight Al-Queda and, maybe assist in the capture of Bin-Laden or explain what happened to him. In addition the suicide bombers, IED makers might be tempted to leave US troops in Afghanistan alone. This would clear his name for 5 deferments for all time.
