First of all let me say that I am deeply saddened by the assassination of former Prime Minister Bhutto of Pakistan. That it was so violent and took the lives of so many other innocents makes it all the more horrible. I hope and pray that the people of her country and the rest of the Middle East will finally come to know peace.
Many of you know that I am a fervent supporter of Joe Biden's bid to be President of the United States. Senator Biden, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has had Pakistan front and center on his radar screen for a very long time. For months he has said that we need a "Pakistani Policy not a Musharrof Policy". He has maintained open, honest and not infrequent communication with President Musharrof and with Ms. Bhutto until shortly before her tragic murder.
The Iowa caucus is just days away--January 3rd. I can only hope that Iowans who have been on the fence will see that Joe Biden is the one with the experience, connections and judgement to lead our nation at this time.
If you would like to see Senator Biden speaking on the issues related to the assassination and the future of Pakistan and our own nation, there is a 12 minute video of his press conference given as the Chairman of the Foreign Relations committee--not as a presidential candidate. The video can be found at www.joebiden.comI urge you to check him out. May some good come from these recent, terrible events.
