Pakistan--
RICHARDSON: ...let me say that I'm very skeptical of this announcement of President Musharraf. You can't have democracy halfway. Yes, he said he's going to have elections, but I'm skeptical. He still has a crackdown, martial law. The supreme court has been disbanded. I am extremely concerned that we are associating ourselves with a dictatorship that is basically just revamping the entire constitutional system to keep its purposes of being in power.
...Chris, I am extremely concerned that President Musharraf has not delivered, in my judgment, as much as he could on going after Al Qaida, on disbanding some of the terrorist headquarters that are on the Afghan-Pakistani border.
And it's a failure of leadership on the part of the Bush administration. We should be saying to Musharraf very clearly, "We give you $10 billion since 9/11. Unless you have free elections and return to democracy, unless you go after Al Qaida in a determined and effective way, your conditional assistance may be terminated."
That's what I would do. I think right now we have a failed nation state on our hands.
WALLACE: ...if they're not going to hold fair elections, if they're not going to lift the emergency rule, that we should cut off all aid.
If he says no, what does that do to our leverage in Pakistan? And what does that do to the ability of the Pakistani army, limited or unsuccessful as it may have been, in going after the terrorists?
RICHARDSON: Well, Chris, if I'd been president, I never would have had us in this situation. What we need to do now...
WALLACE: But we are in this situation, sir.
RICHARDSON: Well, right now Musharraf is in dear trouble. Al Qaeda is getting stronger. Our leverage, I believe, right now is almost vanished....

HEADLINES: RICHARDSON LAYS OUT PLAN FOR A TERRORIST STATE IN IRAQ
Utterly amazing how these pro-illegal immigration folks tap dance around the issue. If all the illegals were deported, there would be no reason to have driver's licenses for them. Richardson has got to be one of the dullest knives in the drawer. I also found his responses to questions about Iraq down right comical. He completely ignores the successes and demands we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. What a moron!
I'm sure he was ordered to run for the nomination by the Clinton Crime Family. With Rapist42 as the Shadow-VP... the position would be hollow... a perfect seat for a stooge.
They got enough POS already.The guy is a full blown dirtbag.
There's only one ulterior motive for the Dem's, that drives all the other actions -- they expect that the illegals with licenses will (illegally) vote, and vote DEMOCRAT.
And THAT is the Rosetta Stone that explains ALL of the Dem's moves.
Richardson sounded like a teenager sticking to his lie.
Couldn’t admit progress in Iraq.
Pretended there was no political progress, and the military progress was irrelevant.
Of course “political progress” to liberals means everybody is singing around the campfire and we’re all home.
Just for the record “fat boy” has lost a lot of weight.
The libs are amazing. In Pakistan where Bush has gotten some cooperation, the libs think we should be harder on them, take away their allowance and send them to their room without supper.
In Iran where they have been overtly attacking us in Iraq and threatening us and other democracies the libs think we should be friendlier to them and sit and talk nice-nice.
And he is the perfect stooge for the perfect seat.
I with you there. I’m sure he was asked to run. He knew he didn’t have a prayer of a chance.
I would be shocked to see him passed over for V.P.
Now, I also have a responsibility as a governor, you know, when the federal government and the Congress don't act, to protect my citizens. That's the reason I did it, as a matter of public safety.
You could have saved your invaders a lot of money by having them switch to Geico. /sarcasm
Idiot.
He'll always be a dumb, lardass meathead to me.
Don't send them packing, just give them a driver's license so they can get insurance and make things safer.
Only the uninsured drive recklessly.
Insurance makes cars safer.
Insurance makes drivers sober.
Insurance makes illegal aliens obey the law!
