    How is that misleading?


    How do you focus "focus more on terrorist sanctuaries in Pakistan" without invading? You can't. Ohh unless Obama start an email program to rid the world of terrorist.

    I already answered this before homebiz, there are many ways to 'focus' on items.

    But I guess when we focus on illegal immigration that will be invading! When we focus on drugs being smuggled in that will be invading.

    You honestly do not see how untruthful and out of touch with reality you are? :confused:

    To show I answered this already, yet you'll continue to bring up it's either invasion or emails.

    As I mentioned to someone via PM, arguing/debating with certain people around here is like playing Whack-a-Mole. No matter how many times you respond, they keep coming back and bringing up the same lame arguments ad nauseum.

    I would classify Obama's foreign policy as "moderately pro-war hawk"

    Honestly, his foreign policy isn't much different than McCain's, despite how much they'll twist and torture their words to make it sound unique.

    Here's what the next ~5-8 years looks like regardless of which one is elected:

    -Draw down in Iraq
    -Surge in Afghanistan
    -Iran ???
    -Advisers in Central Africa and Southwest Asia in preparation for possible military intervention
    -Funnel money and weapons to anyone in Africa, Mid East, or Asia who will give us access to the area for business or military

    The risk, of course, is not necessarily Iran at this point. No, the bigger risk I see is that some of the "soft power" they want to peddle in Darfur and Burma might sparks tensions with China and create a shift to an adversarial relationship where we had once enjoyed a pretty solid strategic alliance.

    If Bush can be credited with anything, its that he played well with China. (Funny how the same could be said for Nixon)

    Moving forward I'm honestly afraid of what happens if the Pentagon and public opinion go against China's imperial interests. China vs. USA is a fight that could only be won by the nations who stayed uninvolved.

    Put me on ignore bowntwn

    I just do not see how we can control the border without crossing over. If we cross over we may be shooting at Pakistani, Taliban and Al Qaeda. If we cross over we will be invading. The terrain on the Pakistani border is treacheries and very confusing.:confused: We can't even secure our own border much less one in the Middle East.

    Getting permission to go into ones country is also not 'invading' working with Pakistan to further go after those we wish is not 'invading'

    You are pulling invading out of thin air, it does not exist in the words Obama stated, not even close.

    With Obama it depends on which side he is speaking to. It is pro anything or anti anything it all depends on the time of day.

    There is a huge difference from going to 'Iraq' which had nothing to do with our war on terror, to continuing the fight the American Public backed.

    What makes you you think Iraq was not involved in any terrorist activity. Am I reading that wrong. I do not want to put words in your mouth. Can you clarify?

    I said 'our war on terror' almost all countries are guilty of supporting a terrorist or terrorist group, hell even the good old USA is.

    Iraq had nothing to do with the terrorists we were fighting.

    Were a few in Iraq? Yes, in the north, in areas where Saddam for the most part did not have control WE had more control via the no fly zones than Saddam did.

    OBAMA dream on! If he thinks he tries to invade Pakistan, he will start world war 3! Pakistan is nuclear armed state! It has a strong military and has a very strategic location! Pakistan neighbors China, I am sure China will not such a large American presence right in Pakistan, so it will not let that happen! Pakistan neighbors Iran, another American enemy! Pakistan neighbors Afghanistan, a place where Al-Qaeda is present and all the lack is weapons, which the Pakistanis will give with ease! Russia will not the Americans significantly increase their presence in Afghanistan, they too will support the the taliban!

    Obama will make a big mistake, probably the biggest mistake in American history by invading Pakistan!

    No one will have to invade Pakistan, the country is falling apart and will soon be begging other countries for military intervention.

    Homebizseo, iraq had absolutely nothing to do with 9-11 and the war on terror. This was proven many times over. Bush claimed wmd's(there were none), he also claimed there were al queda there(there were none).
    I had this debate many times over.

    If you want to know our track record in the middle east its never been that honest and you can start with iran in the 1950's. I wonder what other info the government will let us see in 20 years when they release the truth again (thanks to the freedom of information act of 1971). This was clearly a war to weaken iraq in many ways and to install a pro american government style iraqi government . They did this in iran and look at what type of government they now have in that country.
