2008: Daily Star On Biden Pick
August 28th, 2008 by Matt
Lebanon’s Daily Star likes Obama’s selection of Joe Biden as his running mate, not only for his “hands-on experience” in the Middle East, but also because they believe he is “unlikely to let the region’s autocrats get a free ride” while avoiding the “recklessness” of the Bush administration’s attempts to do the same.
The New America Foundation sponsored an event yesterday at the DNC titled, “Can The Next President Make the Middle East Irrelevant?” featuring an all-star lineup of speakers and panelists including John Kerry, Joschka Fischer, Anne-Marie Slaughter, Daniel Levy, and Rob Malley, among others. I’ll try to link to a transcript or video when they put one up.
