Obama's VP Choice?

ABC News: Reports on the runners to be Obama's VP, Hillary Clinton not at the top of the list, not news that one!!. I would suggest to Senator Obama that after the War between Russia and Georgia he needs an Old Foreign Policy expert as VP, in this case Senator Sam Nunn. This might not bring in a State, but it would help if there are hot spots before the election, think Israel and Iran.

Musharraf OUT in Pakistan

BBC News: Reports on the enforced resignation of President Musharraf of Pakistan. Lets hope the West does not regret this move, lets recall Iran in 1979. A nightmare for the West would be a Pakistan in the hands of the terrorist. A terrorist controlled Pakistan would be a threat to India, cause the West massive military problems in Afghanistan and Terror groups would have a heaven as to plan attacks on the West.
