On FNS, Democrat Presidential hopeful Bill Richardson demanded that the United States cut off all aid to Pakistan. Richardson based the necessity for his Iraq "plan" – run away – on the words of retired General Ricardo Sanchez. When host Chris Wallace pointed out that Sanchez had been removed from Iraq in June of 2004 following the Abu Ghraib incident, Richardson proclaimed that Sanchez had been "on the ground" and thus would know that the surge had failed.
Later on FNS, Republican Presidential hopeful John McCain stated that he is the only Republican frontrunner with any foreign policy experience. McCain also offered, as a matter of fact: "I will win New Hampshire."
When asked about his inexperience by host Tim Russert on NBC's Meet the Press, Dem Presidential hopeful Barack Obama proclaimed: "There is no real training for the Presidency than the Presidency." I assume Hillary agrees.
On ABC's This Week, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice had some kind things to say about Pakistani President/dictator Pervez Musharraf, all the while clarifying that the United States supports democratic principles in Pakistan rather than Musharraf, whom she had described as the democratic principal.
Also on TW, Chris Dodd whined and griped.
On CBS' Face the Nation, GOP Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, when asked by host Bob Schieffer if he would run as Rudy's veep, answered that he hopes to do well enough in Iowa and New Hampshire to take the nomination.
Next on FTN, GOP Presidential hopeful Ron Paul said that his giant fundraising day of last week was orchestrated by someone he's never met, not his campaign. He said it is all about the power of the message, not about him. As for his chances of winning the nomination, Ron Paul said that he knows it's not likely, but his name is on the ballot and his supporters do not believe that it is not possible.
On LE, Dem Presidential hopeful Joe Biden talked of his recent telephone conversation with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and dismissed Rudy Giuliani as something of a flake. |
