Barack Hussein Obama is rapidly becoming the incredible shrinking candidate. Fresh off his rather naive comment that he would meet with any thug, anytime, anywhere during his first year as President, he has stepped in it again.
He has declared that when he's President, if credible intel suggests that Osama bin Laden is in Pakistan, then by golly we're going in. Now hold on just a danged minute, son.
Obama has done nothing but denounce our presence in Iraq. If he paid more attention to history and the facts, he would realize that we have the authority to be in Iraq. Desert Storm did not end in victory. It ended in a cease fire that America spent 12 long years policing. When it became obvious that Saddam Hussein (there's that name again) was playing the U.N. and the world for suckers, with our money no less, President Bush went in.
But, I digress.
In case you missed it, Pakistan went nuclear during the Clinton administration. (Even Clinton didn't notice until he pulled his pants up.) You can't just go marching into any country, let alone a nuclear one, let alone one that is (ostensibly) our ally in the war on terror, and start bombing the joint.
You may not like President Bush and you may not like the war in Iraq, but America had the authority to act. We have no such authority in Pakistan. But, democrats will always find a way to justify their actions while at the same time denouncing identical actions from anyone else.
It's why democrat and hypocrite are synonymous.
