Contrast his answer on Bhutto with Mike Huckabee's.

[SolidWood]

We need to understand that this is not a criminal investigation any more - so we find the bad guys and bring them to justice - it's a war.

Bingo!

[Grampa Dave]

Superb.

Thanks for posting this!

[counterpunch]

Fred was near the top of his game here. He was energized, concise, and on message. If he had been in this form more often, he would be leading, or at least still be competitive. His only flaw was while talking about Pakistan’s nukes, he failed to mention he advised the State Department on international security and nuclear nonproliferation.

[commonguymd]

Fred is a statesman and he understands the problems.

[Petronski]

Seriously!

Huckabee apologized. WTF?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Huckabee apologized. WTF?

For what did..... the Huckster apologize?

[JennysCool]

he would be leading, or at least still be competitive.

Oh, he's still competitive, all right. Watch what shakes out when the Drive-By Media's latest fixations on Huckabee and McCain fade.

[Fred]

But we' re going to have to walk that line between democracy on the one hand and stability on the other.

Words of a leader.

[Grampa Dave]

Words of a leader with his feet planted firmly in reality not political rhetoric.

[Shelayne]

Oooh, I was looking for this. Thanks for posting!

[Grampa Dave]

Just what we need, another damn apologizing Rino!

[Petronski]

Mike Huckabee strode out to the strains of “Right Now” by Van Halen and immediately addressed the Bhutto situation, expressing “our sincere concern and apologies for what has happened in Pakistan.”

[dfwgator]

Advantage, Fred.

[counterpunch]

Huckabee apologized to the world for it being Bush’s fault, I’m sure.
The Huckster’s running hard for the Democrat nomination.
Hell, he may be running against himself next November.

[SF Republican]

When Hillary speaks out lots of post here indicate her sticking her nose into it, making political points, using the event; but when Republicans do the same by making a statement, it is lauded. LOL

[steve8714]

With Fred, it’s not all about Fred.

[dfwgator]

What is it about politicians from Arkansas?

[Jet Jaguar]

Well said.

From this thread :

Huckabee Reaction to Bhutto Assassination

there is this:

ORLANDO, FLA. -- With about 150 supporters crowded around a podium set up on the tarmac of Orlando Executive airport (and about 20 Ron Paul supporters waving signs outside) Mike Huckabee strode out to the strains of “Right Now” by Van Halen and immediately addressed the Bhutto situation, expressing “our sincere concern and apologies for what has happened in Pakistan.”
