2007 Democratic primary debate at Drexel: on Foreign Policy


Chris Dodd: Pakistan is a more immediate problem than Iran

Q: Would you pledge that Iran will not develop a nuclear bomb while you are president?

A: Here’s a deeper question here, because not only the pledge you make, but this audience and others here make a determination which of us here have the experience, the background here to manage the situation. It’s a critical question. The problem’s not only the Middle East. What’s going on in the Far East, and in Latin America and elsewhere. The more immediate problem is Pakistan, the one that needs to be addressed
