Obama: War on Pakistan?

Huh?

"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."

All right, I agree with him on that, but this coming from the guy who said.... "That’s what I’m opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.

Now let me be clear – I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity.

He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him."

So...Obama, you admit the guy was killing his own people by the thousands, ignoring the resolutions, you yourself admit he was working on bio and chem weapons and was looking for the ultimate in fire power. It's common knowledge he was sponsoring terrorism in a big way prior to our invasion. Salman Pak, grants to suicide bombers in Palestine.

You admit it, but call it a "dumb war". Now you want us to elect you and have you possibly invade Pakistan, who albeit bad, very bad, they are at least "allies". I don't get that. Seriously.
