During the third presidential debate featuring foreign policy, Debate moderator Bob Schieffer apparently referred to 'Obama bin Laden,' instead of Osama bin Laden.

"We know that Pakistan has arrested the doctor to help us catch Obama bin Laden," Scheiffer said. "It still provides safe haven for terrorists yet we continue to get Pakistan billions of dollars. Is it time for us to divorce Pakistan?"
