Pakistan, Afghanistan and America's War on Terror

Hosted by

Pakistan's newly elected opposition parties have joined forces against President Pervez Musharraf. They want talks with Islamic militants, including the Taliban. What's the future of a Bush Administration ally in the war on terror? What's the likely impact on Afghanistan, where NATO forces are struggling against a tough enemy and among themselves? Also, it's John McCain versus the New York Times and Obama versus Clinton tonight in Texas.
