Huckabee on Pakistan...Open mouth insert foot

Do you really want this man dictating our foreign policy?

"[F]ormer Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee suggested that after the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, the United States should, “have an immediate, very clear monitoring of our border, and particularly to make sure, if there’s any unusual activity of Pakistanis coming into the country. We just need to be very very thorough in looking at every aspect of our own security internally.”

Equating the death of Bhutto to illegal immigration, real classy. Huckabee said that Pakistani's make up the 2nd largest group coming into the US across the Mexican border. In fact they are not even in the top 25.

Huckabee "immediately addressed the Bhutto situation, expressing “our sincere concern and apologies for what has happened in Pakistan.”

Apologized? Did he have a part in it? Poor choice of words...



"People who questioned my view of foreign policy probably need go back and read the speech that I delivered back in Washington in September. … What we’ve seen happen is that in the Musharraf government, he has told us that he really does not have enough control of those eastern borders near Afghanistan to be able go after the terrorists. But on the other hand, he doesn’t want us going in because it violates his sovereignty."

India is on the western side of Pakistan Mike...whoops again!

3 swings and 3 strikes on 1 international issue. This man might actually be worse for America then George Bush. Please Iowans, send him to packing to backwater Arkansas where he came from.
