Even before the war in Iraq, military/intelligence reports were coming out of Afghanistan saying the leadership of Al Queda had crossed into Pakistan where US forces couldn't follow. Since no one I've heard from ever disagreed with that and the government was not trying to use these reports to justify some shameful act, I assumed it to be true. But we wouldn't be attacking just on my trust in our national news organizations. Presumably, Obama would only attack Pakistani territory if we had air-tight intelligence to believe that senior officials from Al Queda would be there. We've tried to get Pakistan's government to arrest these people, but every time they raid an area someone tips off the occupants there and we find empty buildings. So the choice is simple - do we allow Al Queda to operate with impunity out of Pakistan, or do we act ourselves? If the choice is the former for Hillary I don't see how she can sell herself as the Democratic candidate with the advantage on terrorism.
