Obama would invade Pakistan?
Seriously?
Going into Iraq to find terrorists… bad?
Going into Pakistan, an ally in the terror war whose president has risked his life to support the United States… good?
Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) on getting tough with terrorists:
From AP: 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.
Hmmm.. maybe Hillary Rodham Clinton is right. What exactly warrants sending troops across the border of an allied country without permission?
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.
Canada better pay attention here… there are known terrorist cells in Canada and Obama might just have to get tough on our neighbors to the north and send in the troops.
“Let me make this clear,” Obama said in a speech 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.”
If only we could get those terrorist holed up in those mountains, we could end this whole thing. After all, the rest of the terrorists in the world would cease to exist if we get rid of the hole-in-the-wall gang of terrorists. I guess it’s kind of like vampires. If you can kill the head vampire, the others lose all their powers and just evaporate, or whatever it is vampires do when they stop being undead.
I guess Pakistan president Musharraf won’t be on the invite list to the White House along with Kim Jung Il and Ahmadinejad when he has his little get together with the world’s terrorism sponsors.
For the record now…
BHO was against invading Iraq, a major sponsor of terrorism with a leader who was threatening the use of chemical and biological weapons and who was trying to obtain the necessary ingredients to develop a nuclear device, and OBO proudly wears this position (not a vote, action or even a tough decision for him since he was not even in Congress to vote on the topic) on his sleeve.
However, he is now on record as saying he would have no problem with INVADING AN ALLIED NATION!
Yep.. finally found something HRC and I agree on…
