New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has told Democratic National Convention delegates that Barack Obama and Joe Biden have the right policy on terrorism -- focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan, not Iraq.

Richardson was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Clinton administration. He also said Thursday night that while people should respect Sen. John McCain's service in wartime, that's no reason to make him president.

Richardson at one time was in the mix of people mentioned as vice presidential running mate possibilities for Obama.
