I too found the Obama speech to be a sterling example of saber rattling belligerence marinated in deep ignorance of the dynamics of South Asia, a region of the world that is notorious for intrigues and tribalism. Obama's speech is red meat for the most cynical and dangerous elements in Afghanistan and Pakistan and could ultimately destabilize Pakistan's ramshackle government. Nawaz Sharif has been beating the "screw America" drum very hard. Obama has for all intents and purposes given the Pakistanis the impression that their country now has a big bullseye painted on it - and wouldn't it be just neat if their fears of being attacked were realized under a Democratic administration? Wake me when it's over. No mas, no mas. Larry: Great post.

Rhetoric instead of understanding. His major address on Iraq today was a flop. It is bad enough that George Bush (and John McCain) has played politics with Iraq, touting the surge as the fix instead of admitting that a change in U.S. tactics on the ground achieved the progress we are witnessing in Iraq… [Obama] insists that we must get out of Iraq because our Army is sapped and our troops worn out. And it is true that our military has been tremendously weakened by the war in Iraq. But then what does he propose? Moving more troops and personnel to Afghanistan. Excuse me? If we must withdraw from Iraq in order to rest and refit our troops then how does it make sense to expand military operations in Afghanistan. In fact, how do you rebuild an Army while sending it out on a new mission that holds the real risk of a new war with Pakistan? War with Pakistan? That’s right.

I find it difficult to believe after 8 long years of GWB --we would be dumb enough to vote for the same mindless kind of leader. Did we not learn anything in the last eight years.
