Bhutto murder investigation resonates in Iowa vote

By Rana Fawad

WASHINGTON: The United States has lost credibility internationally as Pakistan requested the British Scotland Yard instead of CIA or FBI to investigate Bhutto’s assassination.

This pitch was made by Joe Biden’s representative to the nonviable caucus members during a Democratic caucus in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday evening telecast live by cnn.com.

Biden’s representative said his (Biden’s) experience in foreign policy will help restore the US credibility world over.

According to the Democratic caucus process, the first round determines which candidates make it to the threshold of 15 percent voter required to qualify for the second round. Candidates securing less than 15 percent in the first round are eliminated and their respective voters become nonviable and are asked to join other candidates with more than 15 percent votes.
