“Obama has now scheduled one of these monthly, right after the labor statistics are reported.”

Obama has taken the fight against Al Quaeda overtly into Pakistan through frequent drone attacks and direct raids such as the one that killed Bin Lauden. For some reason the Bush administration was obsessed with Iraq and executed basically a hands off strategy with Pakistan which was the real sanctuary. During his campaign Obama made a point of speaking to the threat from Pakistan and saying he would take military action against that country which he has.

Before I get flamed, I share the view of many this is the worst administration in US history and its policies are resulting in the economic and cultural destruction of our nation. I will however give credit where credit is due. Bush made a strategic error in invading Iraq. Iraq was the counterweight to Iran in the region and not a direct threat to the US. Afghanistan and Pakistan were the sanctuaries for Al Queda, not Iraq. Had Bush stayed focused on our real enemy, instead of trying to invade and occupy Iraq with too few troops, we might have already been finished with our war with Al Queada.
