Obama: U.S. needs to come down hard on Musharraf :

WILLIAMSBURG, Iowa -- A day after former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, White House hopeful Barack Obama said the United States needs to come down hard on Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf.

Obama said today he would suspend any military aid to Pakistan not directly going to fight al Qaida until Musharraf gets “serious” about stomping out the group.

Edwards Says Clinton, Obama Won't Change `System' in Washington:

Edwards, 54, was one of the few U.S. politicians who spoke with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf after yesterday's assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. In the TV interview, Edwards said he urged Musharraf to appoint outside advisers to make sure Pakistan's military and intelligence service weren't complicit in Bhutto's murder.

``I tried to impress upon him the importance of bringing in outside, independent, international investigators to determine how this happened, what the real facts are,'' Edwards said. Musharraf said he ``hadn't yet thought about it, but that he would,'' according to Edwards.

Clinton calls for probe of Bhutto killing in Iowa:

STORY CITY, Iowa (Reuters) - Democrat Hillary Clinton called on Friday for an international probe of Benazir Bhutto's killing and candidates in both parties sparred over foreign policy six days before Iowa kicks off a close presidential nominating race.

Clinton, battling rivals Barack Obama and John Edwards for the lead in Iowa, questioned the reliability of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's government after opposition leader Bhutto's assassination.

"I don't think the Pakistani government at this time under President Musharraf has any credibility at all," Clinton said in an interview with CNN as she campaigned across Iowa. "Therefore I am calling for a full independent international investigation."

So two Democratic candidates think Musharraf has no credibility, and one calls him!

Why did it take a (another) crisis to bring Pakistan into focus (again)?
