While, he was the first candidate that I am aware to not only acknowledge that country's turmoil as a reason why it is a bigger problem than Iran, his comments at the debate this week are obviously even more telling given the events of this weekend. Now talking about it doesn't in itself mean that he is the most qualifed, but his mentioning it during the Iran discussion the other day and how Presidential (and Congressional) actions have consquences (and specifically stated how the Iran resolution and W's rhetoric created negative real world consequences) were particularly prescient given the events in Pakistan this weekend. We need someone who grasp how all of the pieces affect each other and has the clarity and wisdom to best deal with it.
I have faith that Edwards, Clinton, Obama, Dodd etc would make sound decisions, but again, I feel like Biden is on a whole other level on these very critical matters and would not only manage these situations well, but better that region, our security and ultimately the world. I don't say that lightly and I don't mean that he has all of the answers. I feel confident that someone who isn't W or the neo-cons or an idiot like Rudy, would also actually consult relevant experts, but it certainly helps when the President is an expert too.
