Will you vote for this war monger????

Obama said if elected in November 2008 he would be willing to attack inside Pakistan with or without approval from the Pakistani government, a move that would likely cause anxiety in the already troubled region.

"If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will," Obama said

Sounds like GWB

Update:

Isn't it funny that people actually think Obama would get better intel than GWB did on Iraq or that becuase it's not GWB it's ok to attack locations inside another country's boundaries.

War is war.. doesn't matter what the justification is

    Um,

    what he was talking about was if we found serious evidence of targets like Bin Laden we would act, not in war but in an investigation, definitely not in war, he has been against that since the very beginning. Nice try, hit the books or the newspaper before you try to display these ridiculous analogies. And the Pakistani government never acts, they are such a suspicious group of people.

    Nice try,

    what about John McCain and being in Iraq for 100 years. Its one thing to be truthful, its another to be cynical.

    Obama would still need the approval of congress as Bush would but it is not likely to happen. Were Musharaff be disposed and a radical Islamist were to take power, then attacking Pakistan might be on the table.

    Actually, I wouldn't vote for him because of the exact opposite reason. He's a moron.done. Instead of invading Pakistan, how about Iran, or Syria, or Lebanon? How about taking down al-Qaeda, Hitzbullah, Hamas, Fatah, and all those other motherfuckin' terrorist groups? He chooses to support them instead. Also, how could he choose to invade Pakistan when he said that he doesn't believe in invading unknowingly? That's why he's so against the Iraq War. He's a little nobody. He's not a war monger, he's a bastard.

    Talk is cheap for a candidate. You and he do not know what information will be presented to him when he takes office. He does not know what he will do about specific issues at this point. But he knows that you don't know that and once he gets elected, if you don't forget about it, he can try to justify why he does or doesn't do something.

    The President gets briefings from various agencies. He gets advice from various people. He gets moderated by the other two branches of government.

    Fine with me if he gets Bin laden. Don't forget that Bill could had him in custody and decided to let him go because they could not think of something to charge him with.

    Bill wanted to bring Bin Laden in anyway but got talked out of it. Maybe the courage to act would be better than the fear of the consequences.

    Do not forget Obama supported the war in Afghanistan to get Al-Qaeda.

    Pakistan happens to be where Osama Bin Laden would mostly be in.

    Barack Obama is heading towards the right direction unlike GWB has.

  • 1 decade ago

    Obama is the one who said he wants US Troops out of Iraq by 2009. I doubt he wants to put more of them somewhere else.

    But, no, I wouldn't vote for him anyway.
