		<description>Everything you state is 100% correct  It is wrong to bomb in Pakistan, and if Obama is aware of this incident, it is his first major blunder.  

Here are several quotes by Einstein which pertain to this situation:
“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding&quot;.
It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
&quot;The world will not evolve past its current state of crisis by using the same thinking that created the situation.&quot; 

A military solution to every problem is not the answer.
Especially when the US should mind it own business.</description>

		<description>He said he was going to focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan. You should have feigned concern when an innocent country was invaded and occupied.</description>

		<description>Because he is interested in stopping terrorism.  

Obama has already reached out to the Muslim world and seems to be interested in human rights for all.  He has said in the past that if need be, he would send troops into Pakistan to stop fighting in Afghanistan.  He has never said he would not do otherwise.</description>

		<description>Screw the world.. if there are terrorist leaders anywhere in the world, they should be killed as publicly and harshly as possible..

And on a side note; How does someone so clueless become a top contributor?</description>

		<description>He is no different than any President before him. If his supporters think that he is anti-establishment, they are wrong. He is not fighting the man. He is the man.</description>

		<description>Last night John McCain accused Barack Obama of, among other things, having &quot;once suggested bombing our ally, Pakistan.&quot; This is a lie.

The basis for it is a foreign policy address Obama made last August, in which he said:

I understand that President Musharraf has his own challenges. But let me make this clear.  There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again. It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had a chance to take out an al Qaeda leadership meeting in 2005. If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won’t act, we will.

Obama was clearly referencing a New York Times story from the previous month, describing how the administration had actionable intelligence about senior al Qaeda leaders, and planned a snatch-and-grab mission, but aborted it at the last second. As the Times reported, &quot;The decision to halt the planned “snatch and grab” operation frustrated some top intelligence officials and members of the military’s secret Special Operations units, who say the United States missed a significant opportunity to try to capture senior members of Al Qaeda.&quot;

Further in the same spech, Obama offered a little more detail about the kind of anti-terrorist mission he envisions:

I will not hesitate to use military force to take out terrorists who pose a direct threat to America. This requires a broader set of capabilities, as outlined in the Army and Marine Corps’s new counter-insurgency manual. I will ensure that our military becomes more stealth, agile, and lethal in its ability to capture or kill terrorists. We need to recruit, train, and equip our armed forces to better target terrorists, and to help foreign militaries to do the same.

There is nothing in Obama&#039;s speech, or any other Obama speech, about &quot;bombing&quot; Pakistan. Both implicitly and explicitly, he called for small, Special Operations-type incursions.

Meanwhile, you know who is coming closer to &quot;bombing an ally&quot;? The Bush administration, whose determined prosecution of the war on terror McCain continues to tout. The Washington Post reported -- as it happens, the same day McCain made his smear -- that the CIA launched Hellfire missiles at an al Qaeda operative in Pakistan. As the Post noted, &quot;Having requested the Pakistani government&#039;s official permission for such strikes on previous occasions, only to be put off or turned down, this time the U.S. spy agency did not seek approval.&quot;</description>

		<description>At no point did Obama say he was for peace.  He said we needed to get out of Iraq and take the fight where it should have been all along, Afghanistan and Pakistan, where Osama is hiding.</description>
