Rudy Wants to Invade Pakistan Too
Presidential hopeful Barrack Obama took heat when he professed that he would unilaterally send the military into Pakistan to capture Osama bin Laden and destroy al Qaeda. Now, Rudy Giuliani is saying the idea has some merit, according to a report in the New York Post. "I would take that action if I thought there was no other way to crush al Qaeda, no other way to crush the Taliban, and no other way to be able to capture bin Laden," Giuliani said during the latest GOP debate event at Drake University. "Pakistan has unfortunately not been making the efforts that they should be making." Giuliani, however, qualified his hawkish stance with the proviso: "We should seek their permission if we ever had to take action there." But other GOP candidates were less sympathetic with the Obama doctrine. "It's naive to say we're going to attack Pakistan without thinking it through," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said.

Meanwhile, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney countered by saying that it's important to support moderate Islamic regimes and help them "reject the extremists." For his part, Obama seems to be enjoying the attention: "The fact that the same Republican candidates who want to keep 160,000 American troops in the middle of a civil war couldn't agree that we should take out Osama bin Laden if we had him in our sights proves why Americans want to turn the page on the last seven years of Bush-Cheney foreign policy," said an Obama spokesman.
