surveyor, you’re ready at the mark to criticize Obama but I don’t think you understand what you’re talking about. What is Obama’s foreign policy position towards Iran? Maybe you could start there? What is his position, exactly?
(None of this specious “Democrats are soft” crap either. Specific criticisms, please.)
What I see with Obama is someone who understands the target better and would probably hit it if presented with the opportunity. Bush has been talking tough and swinging and missing here for several years. Where is Bin Laden?
Second, I believe military force is more effective when COMBINED with other tactics of engagement. Obama’s position is therefore MORE forceful, and applies more PRESSURE, than Bush has done.
I would point out as well, Obama’s willingness to put US forces in Pakistan tribal areas is not only more muscular and militaritic, but is MORE ON TARGET, in terms of engaging the ACTUAL enemy (AQ).
