Brilliant! Move American troops fighting Al Qaeda in Iraq and invade Pakistan! The democratic junior senator from Illinois thinks it's best to invade an American ally. Brilliant!
The Senator's plan has already drawn glowing reviews from leading foreign policy experts.
Lee Hamilton, former Democratic Congressman, Vice Chair of the 9/11 Commission, Co-Chair of the Iraq Study Group, Member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council:
Senator Obama presented a thoughtful, substantive and comprehensive counter-terrorism strategy. This is an important contribution to the national dialogue on this leading issue.
Major General Scott Gration (USAF-Ret); Commander, Operation Iraqi Freedom’s Task Force West; Director Strategy Policy and Assessments, United States European Command:
Defending America will require taking the fight to the terrorists, and drying up support for terrorism and extremism worldwide. Senator Obama's counter-terrorism strategy shows that he is committed to developing the capabilities required to defeat terrorists on the field of battle, and that he has the vision to defeat the terrorists in the battle of ideas.
Samantha Power; author of A Problem from Hell: America in the Age of Genocide; Founding Executive Director, Harvard University Carr Center for Human Rights Policy:
At a time when Americans are despairing over the Bush Administration's handling of terrorism, Barack Obama has offered us a smart, tough and principled way forward. Where Bush overstretched our armed forces and sent them into an unnecessary war, Obama would heed the military's pleas for counterinsurgency resources and beefed-up civilian capacity. Where Bush lumped US foes together, Obama would pry them apart. And where Bush threw out the rule-book, Obama would again make America a country that practices what it preaches.
Well one wonders about the supposed expertise alluded to by jb1125 coming from KNOWN losers like Lee Hamilton...
Senator 'zero accomplishments' Obama like all other sniveling cowards is throwing out noise in order to divert attention away from painfully obvious inability to come to grips with the real world...
So in an attempt to give himself some sort of gravitas Obama surrounds himself with people who's blatant inability to deal with reality mirrors his own...
Has George W done a piss poor job with the fight against islamofacsim with his politically correct and pansey like R.O.E.? Obviously I think so and that feeling came home to roost when Bush didn't level the town of Fallujah back in May of '04...
There had been previous indicators that the so called, "light footprint' being pushed by General Abizaid wasn't working but that one for me was the final straw...
Obama's words are the gift that just keeps on giving...
Just ask Ralph Peters over at the New York Post (oh dear! not another Murdoch company!): BLUSTER OF BERSERK BARACK
EARLIER in his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama just sounded naive. Yesterday, he sounded frightening.
In a speech long on bluster and short on common sense, Obama called, yet again, for withdrawing our troops from Iraq and letting al Qaeda declare victory. But he's not a peacenik: He wants to use those forces to invade Pakistan (there is more )

One other nugget jb1125 about the 'nutless Obama who just has to make sure everyone but everyone is completely assured he's a sniveling coward, he holds forth as follows: Obama says use of nuclear weapons to fight al-Qaida 'not on the table
