Obama vs. Clinton: On Musharraf Saying bin Laden’s Capture “Doesn’t Mean Much”

Today, Pervez Musharraf said he wasn’t really all that focused on finding Osama Bin Laden.

The AP reports:

That bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahri are still at large “doesn’t mean much,” the former general said Tuesday on the second day of a swing through Europe. He suggested they are far less a threat to his regime than Taliban-linked militants entrenched in Pakistan’s west.

Bin Laden and al-Zawahri are believed to be hiding somewhere in the lawless tribal areas along Afghanistan’s frontier with Pakistan.

“The 100,000 troops that we are using … are not going around trying to locate Osama bin Laden and Zawahri, frankly,” Musharraf told a conference at the French Institute for International Relations. “They are operating against terrorists, and in the process, if we get them, we will deal with them certainly.”

Back in August, Hillary Clinton and the other Democratic candidates jumped on Barack Obama for saying, ““If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will.”

Time and time again we see that Obama’s judgment is just much more on the mark with regard to our foreign policy and national security.
