Way to go Obama YOU MORON!
fellow blogger, Snooper, came across with this story. I found it here, at the ABC Blotter:
The rest of the story gives the usual leftist spin this is a power ploy by Musharraf to keep control of the populace by invoking martial law under the guise of protecting the people from terrorists already in Pakistan.Legal experts and security officials met with Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf Thursday, as the government weighed whether to invoke a state of emergency for what it said were mounting "external and internal" threats, officials said.
Tariq Azim, minister of state for information, said talk from the United States about the possibility of U.S. military action against al-Qaida in Pakistan "has started alarm bells ringing and has upset the Pakistani public." He mentioned Democratic presidential hopeful Barak Obama by name as an example of someone who made such comments, saying his recent remarks were one reason the government was debating a state of emergency.
Maybe, maybe not.
Whatever Musharraf's motivations are, (define "IS"), the fact is a presidential wannabe is mentioned specifically as one of perhaps many direct causes for internal unease in a shaky ally country. BY NAME. BECAUSE OF HIS IRRESPONSIBLE STATEMENTS in a cat fight with the queen pu**y herself.
He has less experience in the ways of schoolyard bullies (not to mention worldwide madmen) than my kids. But he wants to "lead" (read: CONTROL) this country.
He can't control his outbursts. But he wants to "lead" this country.
He doesn't think about the drivel coming out of his mouth regarding who he'll meet with. But he wants to "lead" this country.
He reacts to a cattle prod wielded by billary without thinking of the consequences of his actions and/or words. But he wants to "lead" this country.
He obviously doesn't understand the new media--your words are forever recorded against you, good or bad, for all of posterity. And those words carry consequences--sometimes reverberating around the world.
But he wants to "lead" this country.
He wants to have tea with the worst dictators of all time, associating himself with them in people's minds. He expects to be able to lie down with these dogs and not have the fleas attach themselves to him when he gets up. He expects the masses of those countries, those that have felt the boots upon their necks, NOT to make the connection he considers these dogs as "friends"--and by being their "friend" he most likely will work to annihilate them--thereby negating any hope of winning the hearts and minds of these masses in any attempt at foreign policy.
But he wants to "lead" this country.
His brand of "leadership" we don't need. We are trying to win hearts and minds, help blossoming countries along the way to the freedoms they so richly deserve. It won't be possible if he's elected for his words will, WILL come back to haunt him.
As will his actions in having a hand in Pakistan's current panic of a threat from the US.
And he wants to "lead" the country.
God help us if the voters are stupid enough to vote him in. Sphere: Related Content
