Democrat senator defends Pakistan
2007-08-10
Following a meeting with Pakistan's leader, the Senate's second-highest ranking Democrat on Wednesday defended Pakistan's efforts to battle Al Qaeda along its mountainous border with Afghanistan.

Speaking with reporters in a conference call from Iraq, Senator Dick Durbin said President General Pervez Musharraf voiced concern over news reports that portray him as not doing enough to eradicate Al Qaeda. "It would be a mistake to conclude that they are not making the effort. I believe they have," Durbin said, citing the deaths of 600 Pakistani soldiers. "I just believe they can be more effective in the way they're doing it."
Durbin is such a tool.
Durbin, the Senate's second-highest ranking Democrat, said Musharraf did not talk about fellow Illinois crank Senator Barack Obama, who has been criticised by the Pakistan government for suggesting he was prepared to send US military forces into Pakistan if that is what it would take to eliminate Al Qaeda as a terrorist threat.

#5   It also reminds me that when you listen to what they say and play it up against what Bush says, Bush sounds like he got a PHd from MIT and the others went to some community college flunked kindergarten.

There, corrected it for ya, Jack!

#4  You know, when you hear pols like Obama, Durbin, Levin, Murtha, et. al. speak, you have to wonder if it was such a good idea to make the military answer to civilian control. I think it is but boy do I ever hope that not one of these idiots gets close to CIC. It also reminds me that when you listen to what they say and play it up against what Bush says, Bush sounds like he got a PHd from MIT and the others went to some community college.

#3  Between Hillary praising lobbyists and Obama waffling on Pakistan, the democrats are screwing themselves faster than the republicans can even keep up with.
