Or the team that deposited fbi files under care of a former bouncer in the basement of the WH?..or the moving team who misplaced her box of Rose Law firm billing records for 18 months...no thx....FOB no thx...FOH no thx...

As to her present day international acumen, consider this statement:

On the surface, a completely reasonable statement, until one considers that she said it on 12/28/2007. (http://www.usatoday.com/news/pdf/Hil...12-28-2007.pdf)

The problem? Musharaff was not running in the upcoming election. He ran for President, and was elected to his third term in October.

Way to stay current, Senator. Well done.

What experience does Hillary have that you find compelling?

Her time in the Senate has been spent carrying Schumer's briefcase.

Her sole public policy initiative while she was "interning" under Bill in the White House (when, that is, there wasn't an intern under Bill...) was the healthcare reform debacle.

Hillary wasted millions on a reform plan that was so piss poor that even with her party controlling both chambers of Congress and her own husband pushing is through from the White House (again, when he wasn't atop an intern), it still never made it out of committee.

So where's this record of achievement and capability that makes her such a strong choice?

One I can't see where she said that.. By the way Under Pakistani law, the national parliament and provincial assemblies choose the president.

But saying that she knows the region and is deeply suspicious of Pres Musharraf. Which she is right to do so considering all the cover ups surrounding Butto death. She handled herself credibilly.

P.S. Bush didn't even know who the President was when he went for election.

The man has problems.

Quite, and yet comes from the greedy trial lawyers. And what about athletes and celebrities. Dont they make millions, and 1000s of times more than their assistants?
