Barack Obama sonly candidate willing to WAR/Pakistan

[karnac]

Rhis is a REAL issue if Obama is honest. which he IS. the reps are too cowardly and involved so too much for them to lose to do what HAS to be done..

Recent accounts of murderous violence in the capital cities of two of our allies, India and Afghanistan, make it appear overwhelmingly probable that the bombs were not the work of local or homegrown "insurgents" but were orchestrated by agents of the Pakistani ISI. This is a fantastically unacceptable state of affairs, which needs to be given its right name of state-sponsored terrorism. Meanwhile, and on Pakistani soil and under the very noses of its army and the ISI, the city of Quetta and the so-called Federally Administered Tribal Areas are becoming the incubating ground of a reorganized and protected al-Qaida. Sen. Barack Obama has, if anything, been the more militant of the two presidential candidates in stressing the danger here and the need to act without too much sentiment about our so-called Islamabad ally. He began using this rhetoric when it was much simpler to counterpose the "good" war in Afghanistan with the "bad" one in Iraq. Never mind that now; he is committed in advance to a serious projection of American power into the heartland of our deadliest enemy. And that, I think, is another reason why so many people are reluctant to employ truthful descriptions for the emerging Afghan-Pakistan confrontation: American liberals can't quite face the fact that if their man does win in November, and if he has meant a single serious word he's ever said, it means more war, and more bitter and protracted war at that—not less.

6. Unlike the "cowardly reps"...

...when a democrat says "act" in relation to a problem, he doesn't necessarily mean bomb the hell out of them and ask questions later. Acting can mean diplomacy.

7. That SL isn't at all accurate.

Your subject line could not be more misleading if you tried. Why do I think you did and failed?

18. What Hitchens REALLY says, in short. Obama's on the diplomatic front with this

and well aware of the consequences and dangers in that area. Therefore, he's way better than McCain on the issue.

BTW, Joe Biden knows that region better than anyone in Washington. I'm married to an Asian Indian and we watch that region carefully.
