Wow. He has moments of sanity. I'm stunned to be honest.

Like any good rat once they "talk" about something the problem is solved! Don't hold your breath for Alabama or any other high profile rat to actually "do" anything about anything except welfare needs for their constituency. that's all they really care about.

Barack Obama 9/24/2008: "I never said that! What I said was that I would vote to give the power to the president to .....blah blah blah"

Obama is the perfect description of an "honest" politician: when he's bought, he stays bought.

Rudy is good, but not very conservative socially.

Yes- his comment is a sane assessment of potential futue conflict.

What would be INSANE would be to want someone like Obama and his party to be making the decisions about when, where and how-

We sure wouldn't want the Clinton State Department, the Clinton SECDEF, or the Clinton targeting team at the helm, would we?

Obama conceded that such strikes might further strain relations between the U.S. and the Arab world.

Huh?

Does O(s|b)ama think Iranians are Arab?

Or the Pakistanis for that matter.

And another thing. "Surgical strikes" is the Clinton formula. Low risk, low cost--and low probability of accomplishing anything meaningful (think of the Tomahawk strikes on Osama). The real question for Obama et al is: what if surgical strikes won't work? If you fire your cruise missles, and all you accomplish is to "hit a camel in the ass" (to paraphrase W)--what then? I think we all know the answer.

Obama suggested Friday that the United States one day might have to launch surgical missile strikes into Iran and Pakistan to keep extremists from getting control of nuclear bombs.

This guy is almost as bad as Kerry.

1. Pakistan is becoming a strong ALLY to the US.

2. Pakistan has already tested it's Nukes back in 1998

Yeah, but the deal includes reciprocal BJ's from his campaign financiers. The money keeps coming as long as Obama toes the line, and kneels when required.

Yep - this is the second issue I have heard about him coming out on the "right" side in a public statement -

He is against homosexual marriage (although he doesn't have a problem with "civil unions".

And now he thinks wacking Iran wouldn't be a bad idea....

Of course, he is a RAT so he is just as likely to give a speech on the opposite side of the same issues tomorrow.
