We may chatter about what would be the best course of action, but it’s Obama’s problem now. The Left has vilified President Bush without mercy, and the Left now has the Presidency. To paraphrase Colin Powell, “You break it, you own it.”

There are no easy solutions to what’s going on in Pakistan. Every possible choice an American president could make about Pakistan is an obvious mistake. If President-Elect Obama is as good as his supporters claim he is, he will deliver miracles in foreign policy. So, we obviously won’t have anything to worry about. (Yeah right…) He should be able to solve our foreign policy dilemma in Pakistan with a wave of his hand (and perhaps a $10 billion slush fund and counting…). Never mind how the President of Pakistan is called “Mr. 10%” for a reason. Never mind how Pakistan’s political establishment is well known as a den of thieves. Yes We Can!

President-Elect Obama, this mess is your problem. You had better be every bit as good as the mythological hero of your campaign literature.
