November 3, 2007 Press Release
BIDEN Issues Statement on Pakistan
Washington, DC – Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (D-DE) issued the following statement today on Pakistan:
“General Musharraf’s decision to declare a state of emergency and suspend the constitution underscores the need for the United States to move from a Musharraf policy to a Pakistan policy. President Bush should personally make clear to General Musharraf the risks to U.S.-Pakistani relations if he does not restore the constitution, permit free and fair elections and take off his uniform as promised. Then, we have to build a new relationship with the Pakistani people, with more non-military aid, sustained over a long period of time, so that the moderate majority in Pakistan has a chance to succeed.”

3. interesting - isn't it? He warned us to stop threatening Iran because it would |
|
really piss off the radical groups in Pakistan, and that Pakistan is what we need to be keeping our eyes on.
Biden also gave a speech the day before 9/11 speaking out against this administration wanted to invest more $$ in Star Wars. Biden said that an attack on our soil is not going to come from a missle, but from someone already in our borders, or even in the belly of a plane.
Biden knows what he speaks.

4. Thanks - hadn't seen this. The interviews he's given post-Pakistan delve |
|
further into the situation and are very informative and educational. His official statement doesn't really reflect the larger picture adequately.
