War On Terror: Sen. Barack Obama thinks troops should be sent into Pakistan. But he really wants to fight terrorism the same way liberals combat inner-city crime: with social programs financed by U.S. taxpayers.
After foolishly promising as president to meet unconditionally with terrorist states, Obama, the Illinois Democrat, has gotten tough: He now wants U.S. forces to zero in on the mountains of northwest Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, where al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden may still be alive.
"There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans," Obama told the Woodrow Wilson Center on Wednesday. "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will."
First of all, Obama has no known plans to rectify our dangerous shortcomings in good, old-fashioned human spying and enable us to gather the kind of "actionable intelligence" he's talking about.

All based on the premise that if we just had OBL in a prison cell, the war would be over.
You say whatever it takes to get elected!
You can'tput a piece of dust in a prison cell
Obama is dead. Fear drove him to suicide.
But who does this appeal to? Hawks who are ready to put our GDP and blood into the war and make Pakistan into a parking lot, would never vote for the socialist Obama, who they know isn't telling the truth anyway. Conversely, the pinkos have got to cringe at such talk.
I just think its the dumbest political move, on top of everything else.

Maybe so, but he's clean!

Lefty-wefties think themselves so much more intelligent than us that they assume they can get over on us any time.
How many have come here posing as conservatives, thinking they were going to fool everybody?
And articulate!
If you want the whole Muslim world to run amok, you deploy American forces into Pakistani soil, the epicenter of Muslim extremism.
Obama should put his PS3 away and do his homework...
In my book, he’s black. So what?
Obama wants to attack Pakistan, overtly?
An empty suit, pockets filled with sophistry.
But, it could be enough to get him elected in the reality show loving, vaccuous society that I still claim to be America.
Love your tagline, brilliant.
But thats what they do and it hopefully, will come home to roost.
