Did anybody just hear this on the radio?????????????????

[IndianaJones]

1. I heard he would use nukes...without reservation. nt.

[pocoloco]

2. LOL

Gotta keep up with Hillary! She already has troops in Iraq and is looking at Iran!

[Botany]

3. ABC = Disney = Path to 9/11 = bull shit

Did you ever hear about Edwards' $400. haircut.

[woo me with science]

9. No but I watched the video. :) nt

4. If necessary

Obama never claimed to be a pacifist. He thinks we should be concentrating on Afghanistan which is a breeding ground. He wants to get the troops out of Iraq and use some of them in Afghanistan. If necessary, we would hunt the terrorists hiking in caves along the border in Pakistan.

14. This is so INSANE. There is NO END to the supply of terrorists! It's akin to trying to wipe out the

U.S. army: there will ALWAYS be more recruitS!!!!

[iconoclastic cat]

5. Well, to be fair, OBL supposedly hid out there, not in Iraq.

I suppose it makes sense, but it still sounds like he's talking about unilateral action, which should be opposed by us.

[woo me with science]

7. These top of the hour news updates are just insane.

It sounded like, "News Flash! Obama will invade Pakistan!" Then on to the news about Paris Hilton....

6. I Thought OBL Was In Baghdad

eom

[mmonk]

8. Yea. There's a discussion in GD-politics.

He's just another political suit (sorry to offend Obama supporters, but I see him as the same 'ol same 'ol when it comes to political games). I will refrain from further criticism as I don't want to engage in the useless in my view, political sweepstakes until closer to voting time. I can be flamed if you feel like doing so. But I have been watching fairly close those I had been thinking I could send a donation to. They all seem to screw up in some respects for me.

[woo me with science]

10. Thanks. I'll go look. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Don't Hate The Playa Hate The Game

And that refers to all successful politicians...

12. Invade? Not quite his style.

[jsamuel]

15. apparently it is - STORY HERE

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070801/ap_on_el_pr/obama_terrorism

WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Wednesday that he would send troops into Pakistan to hunt down terrorists even without local permission if warranted -- an attempt to show strength when his chief rival has described his foreign policy skills as naive.

The Illinois senator warned Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf that he must do more to shut down terrorist operations in his country and evict foreign fighters under an Obama presidency, or Pakistan will risk a U.S. troop invasion and losing hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. military aid.

"Let me make this clear," Obama said in a speech prepared for delivery at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. "There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again. It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had a chance to take out an al-Qaida leadership meeting in 2005. If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will."

The excerpts were provided by the Obama campaign in advance of the speech.

...

This is what I have feared about Obama all along. Confirmed.
