1. i thought he was going to go to Wisconsin

that's what zulchzulu posted yesterday. but he didn't have details and was guessing on when so it probably wasn't a sure thing.

i hope they get a lot of attention. i am a bit worried of what may happen in pakistan. i hope they stay safe.

2. Read somewhere

that they will also go to India and Turkey. Just get them out of Afghanistan and especially Pakistan ASAP...

[MBS]

3. stay safe, JK

find some truth for us there, and come back.

5. I know....I am seriously frightened for them.

BushInc is the one I see using cover of terrorism to eliminate Kerry and doesn't care if he knocks off Biden and Hagel in the process.

[MBS]

6. I'm very nervous about this trip, too n/t

[Inuca]

7. I hope we are just a bunch of silly

mother hens, or whatever the expression is... but I want them back or at least out of Pakistan ASAP. Anybody happens to know what the schedule looks like?

[Inuca]

8. I doubt they/he

are particularly fond of Hagel either.

Note to self: SHUT UP and stop teh idiotic speculations!

9. I'll feel better when I know he is out of there

10. Safe home, Senators.

We'll leave the light in the Old North Church steeple on for ya...

11. Here's an update from Senator Kerry.

Senator John Kerry impressed by Pakistan election process


ISLAMABAD, Feb 18 (APP): US Senator John Kerry Monday said he was impressed by the election process and the arrangements for the polling to provide a chance to the people to use their right of vote.

12. Thanks for that! n/t

13. Nice statement praising people who deserve praise

I didn't really like Biden's comment that there would be questions if Musharrif's party won. It seemed inappropriate in a foreign country before the voting, to imply that cheating is likely. It bothers me as sounding patronizing. As it turned out, they bravely voted against Musharrif. There have been comments on irregularities, but that happens in the US too.

14. I agree with you about Senator Biden's comments, not very diplomatic IMO,

that is what I thought when I read them elsewhere. Another example of Biden being Biden and not thinking something through before he says it.
