Juan Cole in Salon:
Bush's failed policies in Pakistan, a nuclear power that al-Qaida still uses to plot against the West, threatens U.S. security more than Iraq ever did.
My comments: I read Juan Cole's "Informed Comment" blog on a pretty regular basis.

With the current MSM choosing FOR us, who the leading candidates are (by virtue of the airtime they give their favorite picks) don't look to hear alot from Joe. I've liked the guy ever since I listened to the gavel to gavel coverage of the Senate Judiciary Confirmation Hearings in 1988. He has always asked tough, fair questions and stays away from hyperbole. But this post is about Juan Cole....and his reasoned, articulate assessment of the current Pakistani (and therefore US) crisis. If you care to partake of the wisdom:
