Barking up the wrong tree

Rather unfortunate news today about Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto being assassinated in Pakistan. It’s worth noting that it’s Pakistan where most of the Taliban insurgents are crossing the border back and forth and getting their arms from, and I wish our Defense Minister Peter MacKay would be issuing statements to Pakistan about that, rather then making statements that it’s “believed” Taliban arms are coming from Iran.

Unfortunately, Pakistan is deemed as an “ally” against terrorism by the Bush Administration, and whatever Washington deems is right is being followed in lockstep by Harper and company, so I’m doubtful that any strong statements will be forthcoming about that.
