Congressman Lee Hamilton joined Sen. Barack Obama once again this morning for a discussion on National Security and the war in Iraq.

In the course of this discussion, Sen. Obama laid his plan for making America and it's citizens safer:

Ending the war in Iraq responsibly
Finishing the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban
Securing nuclear weapons and materials from terrorists and rogue states
Achieving true energy security
Rebuilding our alliances to meet the challenges of the 21st century

In this same address, Sen. Obama also announced that he would once more be joining with Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, along with Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware in cosponsoring legislation which would impact our efforts in Pakistan.

Sen. Obama said the following:

"We must expect more of the Pakistani government, but we must offer more than a blank check to a General who has lost the confidence of his people. It's time to strengthen stability by standing up for the aspirations of the Pakistani people. That's why I'm cosponsoring a bill with Joe Biden and Richard Lugar to triple non-military aid to the Pakistani people."
