Bill Richardson in tonight's debate
The sweaty, corpulent, podium-pounding also-ran of the remaining would-be Democratic nominees just gave the most idiotic foreign policy answer I've yet heard -- from either party.
In response to a hypothetical about the U.S. acting on its own to get Bin Laden in his Pakistan hideaway when Pakistan's leader refuses to act, Richardson says he'll use diplomacy first -- and demand that Musharaf resign.
Because, you see, we have so much leverage over this sovereign, nuclear-armed Muslim nation, that all we have to do is snap our pudgy fingers and *POOF* their elected leader is gone.
Doing wonders for the insane theories in the Arab world that our allies are merely puppets of the Israel-loving U.S. government.
Look, Musharaf may indeed be a bastard, but he's the only thing standing between those nukes in his arsenal and the iNsAnE, fundamentalist Muslim moonbats who want to seize control and use the Pakistani military as the Sword of Allah, swinging for our necks.
Pardon me if the idea of magically forcing him out of office strikes me as naive, stupid, arrogant, and finally, just bizarre.
With this evening's earlier debate in mind, I think the dream ticket for the psycho set would be Ron Paul & Bill Richardson in '08.
