Morning Update: Friends and Foes in Pakistan
Both presidential candidates responded to the bombing of a Marriott hotel in Pakistan. Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said the attack should serve as a reminder that the United States should “forge a deep and lasting partnership with Pakistan, and with nations around the world, to root out and destroy al-Qaeda and its affiliates.”
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said the United States should work with the Pakistani government to “find those responsible, hold them accountable, and diminish their ability to threaten us and our allies in the future.”
PALIN: McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK), will meet (ChiTrib) with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and Colombian President Alvaro Uribe on Tuesday on the sidelines of the opening of the annual UN General Assembly debate.
