Debate blogging 8

I think this is probably the most dispiriting portion of the debate, focusing on the military with both candidates endorsing the kind of militarism that has been so detrimental to our credibility abroad and budgets at home.

Chris Bowers has this to say at Open Left about the Pakistan question and much of this foreign policy prattle.

Pakistan question in all three debates now. I am glad we cut candidates short in order to hear yet another question about Pakistan, which isn’t in the top 50 issues on the mind of the public.
