Sen. Obama isn't just wrong on the top foreign policy issues of Iraq, Iran and Russia, but also on virtually every other one that comes to mind. His strongest position is on Pakistan, where he advocates launching strikes on terrorists identified in that country if the government is unable or unwilling to go after them. This is an honorable position, although openly stating such an intention has extremely negative diplomatic repercussions and threatens the stability of the Pakistani government, which could allow radical Muslims to have an even greater safe harbor. Such statements are meant to be made in private, but at least this shows one area of the world where Obama is tough. Unfortunately, Obama still doesn't go far enough in developing a plan for handling Pakistan.
Sen. Obama declined to talk about the need to embrace the Pakistani tribes on the border in order to enlist them in fighting the insurgents, perhaps because saying so would again vindicate one of the strategies Gen. Petraeus and Sen. McCain advocated that caused the war in Iraq to turn around. At the first debate, Obama even failed to embrace this proven concept after McCain mentioned it. While Obama's call for unilateral strikes when necessary is refreshing and commendable, it does not appear that he recognizes that a greater counter-insurgency campaign that involves the tribes is needed. Air strikes and raids absent such a strategy will only increase resentment against the Pakistani government and the U.S. among the population and may even cause the Pakistanis to end their alliance with us.

Obama is a dangerous fool who is wrong on every issue.
I honestly believe that the only reason Obama wants to invade Pakistan is to assist his Islamo-Fascist buddies in taking over the country... Musharraf barely held them back as it was. We go in as Obama suggests without cooperation from the government and not only are we in for a LONG fight without enough troops to back it (has he even LOOKED at that terrain that’s been held by tribes for CENTURIES?), but we also seriously risk completely destabilizing a country that HAS nuclear weapons ALREADY, and has a VERY large terrorist contingency and would help the Theocratic Sharia-law backers take over! (Hmmm... Sounds a little like what his cousin Odinga did/tried to do in working with the Islamo-Fascists in Kenya... Oh, I almost forgot - Obama was his primary ADVISOR in his campaign... Nah, nothing to see there...)
The whole thing doesn’t make any difference if Obama cannot, legally, be President of this country. Not only that, his name isn’t even legal. He never went to court to change his name. It is illegal and he hasn’t proven that he is a US citizen. I can’t believe that half our country has fallen for this guy.
It has a stance?
Who knew.....?
Nobama won’t attack his distant Muslim cousins, IMO.
If Berg gats a decision from the judge before the elecions, then we might be ok.
If the decision comes after the election and we let Nobama win, then Biden will be handed the Presidency. He will get to hand-pick his own VP.
What a mess:
We have to keep pumping info out to all out friends who either don’t have internet, or who just don’t get how dangerous Nobama is, along with his henchmen, Johnson and Raines, Gorelick, Dodd, etc.

My sentiments exactly. When the primaries began I put this idiot at the bottom because of his direct muslim connection. As more was revealed during the process I was thinking how did this marxist muslim get to the US senate. Never underestimate the stupidity and gullibility of the rat voters—we must remember the average RAT voter is often illiterate and many can barely speak english.
If he is not a citizen, he shouldn’t be a Senator and he shouldn’t even have been in the IL legislature. The democrats who promote him should be brought before our courts and made to explain their actions.
Lenin and the Communists referred to the left in this country as “useful idiots”. Obama falls into that category.
