Constant Diarrhea,

You may think “this is fairly consistent with Bush’s stance” but so is the surge and the continued battle in Iraq and Afghanistan and electronic surveillance. Maybe you somehow miss the point that our Hyde Park socialist has made his entire campaign out of leftist anti-war blather.

And so far, that has earned him second place in the Moonbat party, a mere 21% behind the leader. So, maybe what we have here is a late, desperate attempt to tweak his public image from pro-infanticide pacifist to strong-on-GWOT Iraq war critic.

You want disingenuous? Follow some of Obama’s positions…

Why is the ad hominem necessary here? It’s just a user name.

I think you missed my point. I fully understand that Obama is running on an anti-war platform. However, he is not talking about occupation in this instance. Merely about chasing down known terrorists, based on good intelligence, when Pakistan won’t act on (which he hasn’t said is a problem, the question was hypothetical). I’m not defending him, I think most of the responses here missed the point, is all.

And again, making fun of me or my user name is really unnecessary.

Most of the comments in this thread are pretty disingenuous. Obama isn’t talking about invading and occupying, as is the case in Iraq, but talking about pursuing HVTs across the border into Pakistan IF intelligence says they are there AND Pakistan won’t act on said intelligence. I think this is fairly consistent with Bush’s stance as there has been plenty of discussion about where to pursue HVTs…into Iran, into Pakistan, etc…Obama’s comments are no big divergence from any previous discussions that have been had in this administration or in public about pursuing terrorists.

I guess his campaign slogan should be:

Vote Hussein Obamam and Pack a Pak

When did these cretins decide you have to publish war plans as part of an election campaign? Even elected Presidents of the United States, Commanders in Chief, do not publish their bombing targets in advance.

I am trying to understand what he thinks the Presidency is – a segment of American Idol?

Vote Hussein, no fuss, no pain
he will toss those bombs
in safe terrain
he won’t hit Iraq, he won’t touch Iran
Hussein will put those Pakis into the can

Vote Hussein for no surprises
He don’t think, he fantasizes
Obi wan Hussein won’t cut and run
He found enemy number one

Musharraf had better stand aside
or Obi wan Hussein will tan his hide
etc etc

Kind of like, the battle Hymn of the Republic sung backwards

I wish I could have been a fly on the wall in his headquarters when he came up with this dipsh*t strategy.

B.Hussein: I’ve got to butch up. We need to say we want to kill somebody to keep America free.

Advisor #1: How about Dick Cheney?
Advisor #2: No, too white.
Advisor #1: How about all non white Republicans?
Advisor #2: No, it should probably be another country.
B. Hussein: Got it! Texas!
Advisor #1: Sorry sir, Texas isn’t another country yet. And besides, we wouldn’t want to antagonize the Mexicans.
B. Hussein: Albania?
Advisor #2: No, should be somewhere in the middle east.
Advisor #1: How about Israel? They’ve got it coming.
B. Hussein: Too obvious. How about Pakistan?

Think of the movie possibilities. The story of the US invasion of Pakistan that touched off a nuclear war, coming soon to theaters near you; starring Denzel Washington in the most challenging role in his career, as Supreme Leader B. Hussein Obama…

C’mon, guys, this man has TEN years of political experience: seven years at the state level, three in the Senate. I think he knows what he’s talking about. But more importantly, he’s so photogenic, so articulate…

I feel safer already…

I watched him make these goofball comments on the news yesterday and I am still scratching my head trying to figure out why voters in my home state put him in the Senate to begin with. The man has absolutely no credibility whatsoever, other than he can make flowery speeches and look statesmanlike. He may talk the talk, but when it comes to walking the walk, he is tripping up and landing on his face all over the place!

Obama did not lose the Kos vote.
They are spinning over there so hard that I thought I was on the tilt a whirl.
Apparently he didn’t mean he would invade.
Just use special ops or an air strike.
Of course that isn’t what Obama said, apparently they are psychic over there and he is telling them this telepathically.
Hillary now looks like the sanest loon in the room.

He hasn’t lost the Kos vote.
They are spinning over there so hard they look like the tilt a whirl ride!
They are saying that he didn’t mean he would invade.
Apparently they are willing to believe “it all depends on what the meaning of “invade” means” or some other such bullshit.
Obama just made Hillary look like the sanest loon in the room.

So instead of ramping up abortion and the Dems trying to out do each other over killing children, this time it’s who is the best conquerer? O’buma wants to invade a Pakistan and Hillary wants to invade where? Can’t wait to hear where Biden is going to send the troops.

In a rational world, Obama would have just lost the primary, as he drove out the entire “Bushes’ endless terror war against innocent terrorists all over the world like a plague of locusts” crowd.

But the world we’re talking about isn’t rational.
