Huckabee doesn’t know the status of Pakistan?
Apparently after Former Minister Benazir Bhutto was murdered Mike “Huckleberry Hound” Huckabee made the following statement to an Orlando crowd:
In Orlando Fla, he gave his “apologies for what has happened in Pakistan.” His campaign staff later said that he meant to say “sympathies.” He apparently also said he was worried about martial law “continuing” in Pakistan, even though it was widely reported that Mr. Musharraf lifted the state of emergency on Dec. 15. His campaign told CBS News that his statement was not a mistake.
Their statement to the NYT was as follows:
Mr. Huckabee “firmly believes that emergency rule/martial law in Pakistan, as a practical matter, should not be viewed as having been completely lifted until the restrictions imposed during that period on the press and judges are removed,” adding that Mr. Musharraf’s “overall policy” is repressive.
Dan Lee Commentary:
The best way I can convey how big of a problem this is, I mean to have a candidate who doesn’t know what’s going on in one of the biggest hotbeds of Islamic Militancy in the world, is just to say that I have everyday, Average Joe neighbors, who new that the Marshall Law in Pakistan was lifted more than a week ago. Huckabee is a state level politician, & has a horrible record on enforcing his own borders. So how in the world can we expect him to know what’s going on in Pakistan? If we can’t depend on him to be on the right side of the border fence at home, then he’s pretty certain to flub up our foreign policy as well, especially when he misunderstands key events in volatile nuke infested countries. On a side note, there’s a terrible irony at work here in that Benazir’s father Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto originally founded the nuclear program that eventually produced these nuclear weapons, in 1972. Now with his own daughter murdered by extremists, those very weapons are in danger of falling into the wrong hands.. My guess is that Mr. Huckabee & the rest of the post pullers didn’t know that either.. ~ Dan Lee
I leave you with this ode to Mr. Huckabee, & the Border Cross Dressers..
