Obama Tries to Be The Tough Guy

Barack Obama is clearly stinging from Hillary Clinton's comments about his foreign policy ideas being "naive and irresponsible", and so Obama has decided to up the anty and declare his willingness to invade an ally in the war on terror:

WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Wednesday that he would possibly send troops into Pakistan to hunt down terrorists, an attempt to show strength when his chief rival has described his foreign policy skills as naive.

The Illinois senator warned Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf that he must do more to shut down terrorist operations in his country and evict foreign fighters under an Obama presidency, or Pakistan will risk a U.S. troop invasion and losing hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. military aid.

"Let me make this clear," Obama said in a speech prepared for delivery at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. "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-Qaida leadership meeting in 2005. If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will."

So, Obama thinks it would be wise to invade another Muslim country that, though far from perfect, has been a great help in the war on terror and not only has its share of Islamo-crazies, but has nuclear capability as well. How long do you think a pro-American government in Pakistan would last should the U.S. send in its forces? Maybe 10 seconds? And after that you could look forward to another radical Islamic state with the capability to throw nuclear weapons at our forces and its neighbors who've long had scores they'd like to settle.

Obama has gone from naive to dangerous.
