    But I thought Senator Biden & Senator Hagel went to Pakistan to influence the elections to bring about positive change by helping ouster Mushareff’s party.

    You mean 20/20 Hindsight Joe Biden screwed up by getting a government elected that will allow Taliban style justice take hold?

    Do you suppose BLOATED WOODTICK Keith Olbermann will discuss the mistakes Biden & Hagle made by going to Pakistan and rooting for the party that said they would let the Taliban out of Pakistan jails?

    Of course not. BLOATEd WOODTICK Keith Olbermann will blame Bush.
