And, as nearly all other Democrats running against him have previously stated, Joe is right. His opponents have been using phrases like “a new threat” and “an emerging crisis” to describe Pakistan. But really, it’s nothing new. 
Biden is the only candidate in either party to have made Pakistan a central piece of his campaign. His plan calls for a Pakistan policy that deals with the people of Pakistan, as opposed to the Musharraf policy of the Bush administration.
“It's not hyperbole to suggest the rest of the world is waiting for an American president to be elected who can connect the dots. And I can,” Biden said to a room of 150 of his supporters in Iowa
And he’s right, again and again, especially in the increasingly important realm of foreign affairs. Perhaps the silver lining in the Bhutto tragedy is that it will finally provide the “Mo-Joe” to boost him to a top finish in Iowa that will propel him into the national race as a strong candidate; that is the scenario his campaign has been talking about for months.
