Barack Obama and his supporters are fond of citing his opposition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq as an example of his superior judgment over his rivals Hillary Clinton and John McCain. To me, it’s just the opposite, and illustrates how poorly Mr. Obama, as commander-in-chief, would handle national security matters.
Saddam Hussein ignored 16 United Nations resolutions demanding U.N. inspectors’ unfettered access of his facilities to locate and dismantle weapons of mass destruction. After a protracted cat-and-mouse game, Saddam finally kicked inspectors out and thumbed his nose at the world. How many more resolutions would Mr. Obama like to have seen before forcing Saddam’s compliance? If you don’t comply with our next resolution and let our inspectors back in the country, we’re going to be really, really mad. We mean it this time, Mr. Saddam. At what point does the U.N. finally protect its credibility and enforce the provisions of its resolutions? Is Mr. Obama suggesting that finally enforcing the resolutions is an example of poor judgment?
And don’t tell me President Bush manipulated intelligence and lied to Congress and the American people to justify military action because that is simply ludicrous. Such a lie would have required the complicity and cover up of the entire intelligence communities of the U.S., Great Britain, White House staffers and the U.S. military. Doesn’t it stand to reason that at least one person from those organizations would have the integrity and moral fiber to blow the whistle on such a conspiracy?

“He wants face-to-face meetings with America’s enemies but won’t meet with Chris Wallace on the Fox News Network.”
Lol.
Good article. Thanks for posting.
Its sad that the first black person with a chance to actually become President of the USA will fail because he’s a racist.
Fast forward to this Rev. Wright stuff. If Wright said these things just last week and Obama denounced the guy that would be one thing, but he's been a member of that church for 20 years, was married by the guy, and had his children baptized there. The truth is that Barak “Goddamn America” Obama has a history of bad judgment.
The Alderman and the Senator, April 16, 2007
I was surprised, and horrified, to learn that Barack Obama endorsed Alderman Dorothy Tillman for re-election in Tuesday's runoff.Also see, Wikipedia: Dorothy TillmanFor those of you who aren't local or who wisely avoid the open sewer of Chicago politics, Dorothy Tillman is the disastrously corrupt, incompetent, and even demented alderman of the south side's long-decrepit 3rd Ward. She's a lock for the city council's worst member (in an exceedingly crowded field of worthless time-servers), a politician whose sole purpose is to employ her children, stoke demagoguery (her signature issue is a quixotic effort for slavery reparations), and maintain her own North Korea-like cult of personality
bump for read after Obama’s speech!
Excellent point.
