Joe Biden wanted to attack terrorists in Pakistan long time back…
At today’s National Press Club luncheon designed to promote his newly-published memoir, “Promises to Keep,” Sen. Joe Biden characterized Sen. Barack Obama’s pledge to hunt down terrorists in Pakistan as old news, noting that he had been proposing such action for “five years.” Asked if Obama’s speech this a.m. was a good idea or showed the junior senator’s inexperience in foreign policy, Biden said: “Yes.” Asked again, Biden elaborated, saying “I’ve been proposing we pursue al Qaeda in Pakistan for five years.” Biden went on to say that the “last thing you want to do” is announce to the people of Pakistan that you’re going to violate their sovereignty. He said such action would force Pakistani Pres. Pervez Musharraf to make deals with various factions. Biden noted as POTUS you simply take action.
