- Barack Obama, the CIA-Brzezinski-Soros Machurian candidate
specialized in duping gullible voters, wants to bomb Pakistan, a country
of 160 million people that actually might fight back with nuclear weapons.
This lunatic proposal makes Obama demonstrably the most explicit and outspoken
warmonger in th Democratic field. And this is only the beginning: Obama's
chief controller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, actually intends to court confrontation
with Russia, which is fast becoming the most powerful nuclear state on
earth. Time to stop the swoon before it is too late.

-
- In a strikingly bold speech about terrorism Wednesday,
Democratic presidential candidate Illinois Sen. Barack Obama called not
only for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, but a redeployment of troops
into Afghanistan and even Pakistan, with or without the permission of Pakistan
President Pervez Musharraf.
-
- "I understand that President Musharraf has his own
challenges," Obama said, "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's mention of an "al Qaeda leadership meeting"
refers to a classified military operation planned in early 2005 to kill
al Qaeda leaders including Osama bin Laden's top deputy Ayman al-Zawahri
in Pakistan's tribal regions. First reported in The New York Times earlier
this month, the mission was "aborted at the last minute after top
Bush administration officials decided it was too risky and could jeopardize
relations with Pakistan, according to intelligence and military officials."
-
- In many ways, the speech is counterintuitive; Obama,
one of the more liberal candidates in the race, is proposing a geopolitical
posture that is more aggressive than that of President Bush. It comes
at a time in Obama's campaign when the freshman senator is drawing more
financial support from more voters than any other candidate, though he
has yet to vault from his second-place position in the polls.
-
- One of the reasons for that is that the Democratic front-runner,
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, is seen as more experienced and in some
ways stronger, a perspective Obama wishes to change.
-
- The speech, delivered at the Woodrow Wilson International
Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., seems an attempt by Obama to ramp
up his campaign to the next phase, where he hopes to seem not only a youthful
idealist, but a president who would pursue a muscular foreign policy and
protect the United States from terrorist attack.
-
- Pakistan is one of five elements he called for in his
speech. The other four are improving diplomacy for the purpose of counterterrorism
and counterproliferation; creating a $5 billion Shared Security Partnership
Program that he will say will "forge an international intelligence
and law enforcement infrastructure to take down terrorist networks around
the globe; restoring our values; and securing a more resilient homeland."
-
- Obama, whose father was Muslim, makes clear that he does
not share the views of Democrats who downplay the risk of Islamist terrorism.
In language rare for a Democratic presidential candidate, Obama talked
about Muslims who seek to create a repressive caliphate. "To defeat
this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we
are fighting for."

- CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) --
At a debate in front of thousands of labor union activists Tuesday, Sen.
Barack Obama's Democratic presidential rivals blasted him for his remarks
about Pakistan.
-
- Last Wednesday, the Illinois senator said that if it
were necessary to root out terrorists, he would send U.S. forces into Pakistan
without the country's approval.
-
- "You can think big, but remember, you shouldn't
always say everything you think if you're running for president, because
it has consequences around the world," Sen. Hillary Clinton said during
a 90-minute Democratic presidential forum in Chicago sponsored by the AFL-CIO.
-
- Chicago is Obama's hometown, and Clinton's statement
drew boos. The New York senator responded, "We don't need that right
now."
-
- Despite the frosty reception, Connecticut Sen. Chris
Dodd joined Clinton in criticizing Obama. He said Obama's stance
could undermine Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, the country's military
ruler, who has been a U.S. ally in the fight against al Qaeda.
-
- "While General Musharraf is no Thomas Jefferson,
he may be the only thing that stands between us and having an Islamic fundamentalist
state in that country," Dodd said.
-
- "So while I would like to see him change, the reality
is, if we lose him, then what we face is an alternative that could be a
lot worse for our country."
