McCain takes a shot at Huckabee's Pakistan comment

I think he's trying to get into the fray anyway he can:

Sen. John McCain condemned Mike Huckabee Monday for saying that, as president, he would strike at terrorists inside Pakistan's borders with or without permission from the country's leadership.

McCain called Huckabee's comments naïve and said the former Arkansas governor lacks military experience needed to lead.

"I certainly wouldn't telegraph my punches," McCain told CNN after a campaign stop here.

"I will always do what's necessary to preserve America's national security, but to say something like that is totally unnecessary and probably has a not beneficial effect on our Pakistani allies who are fighting against al Qaeda and with us in Pakistan."

On Saturday in South Carolina, Huckabee said if there was an "imminent threat" inside Pakistan, he would take military action there, even if it meant violating Pakistan's sovereignty under international law.

"We need to make sure we are clear that if we have an actionable target in Pakistan, that we will take action on that target because if that helps save and preserve American people," Huckabee said. "That's the foremost thing we need to be worried about."
Wouldn't it be better to work with Pakistan instead of threatening to invade? I thought everyone was into negotiation before invasion, is that only with Iran?

Wow! This guy has his finger on the pulse of the Republican base

If you were courting Republican primary voters, would you say this:

Republican John McCain says he intends to appoint a Democrat to a high-profile Cabinet post if he’s elected president.

“There are very highly qualified Democrats on a number of issues,” McCain said. “The more efforts you can make towards bipartisanship, I think in Washington today, the better off you are. But it also better be, one, an important post and, two, a person who has the ear of the president.”

I'm sorry but didn't we hear this bi-partisan bull cookies already with W.? And what did it get him? A very bad Secretary of Transportation and absolutely no good will from the Democrats.

We don't want a uniter, we want a fighter.
