Nuclear Terrorism

Obama is asked first...

Gibson says he outlines the Bush doctrine...

"Here we have the situation where Al Q has killed 3000 Americans is in the territory of Pakistan ... we know that... my job as commander in chief will be to make sure that we strike anyone who would do America harm.."

Edwards agrees...says the policy now is "ad hoc" and pledges a long-term international initiative to rid the world of nuclear weapons.

Richardson says to a skeptical Charlie Gibson that he would ask Musharrif to step aside. "I would make it unmistakably clear that he would have to have elections." ... "Diplomacy is to try to get what's best for the United States."

Wow -- HRC uses her husband's failed strike at Pakistan in 1998 as a reason why caution should be exercised in this affair...but gives a very sophisticated answer about the interrelationship between insecure weapons and India's fears.

The flaw of the Bush doctrine, Obama says, is that Iraq distracts from the war on terror. More..."Iraq....Iraq....Iraq..."

Pakistan lies. It hosted Osama bin Laden (knowingly or not). Its government is barely functional.…
