The death of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto provided Presidential candidates with an opportunity to demonstrate either their ignorance or just their actual lack of foreign policy experience:Hillary Clinton who often chides others because of their lack of experience called for an "...international independent investigation..."
Ron Paul the wacky Republican blames "...the interventionist foreign policy of the United States...that Al-Qaeda is justified at being annoyed at us..."
Mike Huckabee continues to demonstrate that he is clueless and says, "...what impact does it have on whether or not there is going to be martial law continuing in Pakistan..." Someone should have told Mr. Huckabee that martial law ended weeks ago.
Barack Obama claimed, "...Washington should cut military aid to Pakistan until Musharraf embraced democracy...that Senator Clinton's support for the Iraq war led to the tragic events...that the U.S. led invasion of Iraq was a distraction from the War on Terror..."
Mitt Romney sees foreign expertise as being unnecessary for the Leader of the Free World and said, "...if the answer for leading this country is someone that has a lot of foreign policy experience, we can just go down to the State Department and pick up any one of the tens of thousands of people who have spent all their life in foreign policy...that is not what this nation needs in a President of the United States, we look to have leadership skills..."
As the candidates continue to stumble around just before the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary, it is clear who is lacking foreign policy experience.
