Rueters: Rumsfeld More Sane Than Obama Regarding Pakistan

************************EXCERPT**********************

Published by AJStrata at 12:11 pm under All General Discussions, Bin Laden/GWOT, Pakistan

The border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan is heating up. I have a slew of interesting articles on activities there as a continuation of my recent posts on the area (see here, here and here) which I will get to in a moment, but one article truly struck me and it was from Reuters:

Former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld may not have been shy about projecting U.S. military power, but even he didn’t dare send American troops into Pakistan’s tribal lands to snatch or kill al Qaeda leaders.

The problem with Obama is one never knows where he really stands on an issue. And when he makes statements that are tough talk, it could just be to deceive some folks that do not want to vote for McCain.
Same goes with Hildebeast say on the statement she made where asked if Iran attacked Israel we would totally obliterate Iran. Such a blanket statement is so easy to make on the fly.
I respect AJ's reasoning on most of all I have read, but on this particular issue, I wonder. How effective an argument can be made as to who is going over the line regarding going into Pakistan un-invited.
If Obama is really honest. Then he is telling us we are literally going to go into another Iraq war with a similar very long term SASO. Nothing else would fit the bill.
I wonder how many of his peace-neks are paying attention to what he proposes. He is calling for a war with Pakistan.
